I have the same question.
You can reference the topic I moved your post from here: http://goccf.com/t/401135

Hopefully I added a picture?

DoubleDee,

Your coin looks plated. Weight?

I think the 80's must have been a period where school science classes were doing a lot experimenting with plating, acid wash and whatever. There sure have been a lot of them over the past several years here on CCF.

To CCF, DoubleDee! It's been plated most likely. PMD.

Someone ruined the coin by plating it. Value is one cent.
