    Merged the two topics. My guess is that the coin was (third party) plated, maybe given away as a lucky penny ...

    Is it plated by the mint, Christian? Thank You for your response.

    Don't think that the US Mint did that ...

    Outside plating. This is done more than you realize by private outfits.

    Thank you for your response, Santinidollar. Just posting what I hope is a 1992 d close AM in rough shape. Can you offer your opinion on these pics? Thank You, Chad.
