ok...i am unable to take a pic, but any hypothetical suggestions would be appreciated. at work today in my drawer i found a penny. it is a dark gray, the thickness of a penny, but the exact size of a nickle in comparison. however, according to the red book it says that a 1 cent on a nickle planchet is not possible. any ideas?
The core is zinc. If the copper plating is missing it would expose the zinc core. Zinc is highly reactive and will quickly oxidize.
