Boredretiree New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 12/29/2024 8:45 pm I believe this is missing the copper plating. Both sides are completely gray but it still weighs 2.45 grams. Any other ideas what I may be looking at? Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73988 Posts	Posted 12/29/2024 8:53 pm To CCF! The copper plating could have been chemically stripped off. This error is often faked by stripping the copper plating off. Although yours could be real. https://www.error-ref.com/unplated-...20in%201982. Errers and Varietys.

Boredretiree New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 12/29/2024 8:56 pm Is there a way to tell? It has zero copper remnants left on the coin so now it seems suspicious to me. Report this Post to the Staff

A couple of options... 1) Take it to a larger coin shows and have several dealers look at it....2) Buy a slabbed example of this known error ( still not a 100%)...or 3) send it in for grading but not until you spent time with option 1. For now keep it safe in a flip or 2x2 Forget about grading it...just found the one on Heritage Auctions ( MS-62) ...sold 12/23/2024 for $ 159.00 plus S&H. edited: an 1985 D MS-65 sold for $ 205 + S&H Edited by Greasy Fingers 12/29/2024 11:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Boredretiree New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 12/30/2024 09:50 am Thanks for the advice! I'm just starting out and there is what seems to be an insurmountable amount of info to digest. I've been following this site since I began and I see a lot of posts about fake coins so I want to avoid being caught by one, but it is fun hunting through the jars of coins I've saved over the years!

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7510 Posts	Posted 12/30/2024 10:51 am Although it appears to be missing the outer copper layer , this example needs to be seen in person by an expert to validate it's authenticity or otherwise. There are way too many manufactured ones floating around out there. Report this Post to the Staff

halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1489 Posts	Posted 12/30/2024 4:35 pm Wish there was an easy answer, but it is typically a long, drawn-out process to authenticate. Definitely protect it from exposure, though, as zinc is very reactive and prone to chemical "rot". Report this Post to the Staff
