penny man Pillar of the Community United States 659 Posts	Posted 04/18/2011 8:19 pm brass are more of a yellow color, and this is the color I get when I scrape some of the copper off of a normal zincoln. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/19/2011 12:50 am It could have been gold plated at one time. The copper color is now showing. A local plating company was plating cent gold color to show their work. They kept them in a cup to hand out to their customers. What could you give away that would be cheaper than a cent plated?

penny man Pillar of the Community United States 659 Posts	Posted 04/20/2011 10:52 am you don't see the silver color? Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 04/20/2011 11:36 am Nope. I see a completely normal coin. IF this were an unplated zinc cent it would be battleship gray with little to no luster. That is simply not what you have. Your coin is either plated, chemically altered, or just a normal coin.
