    Did my eBay search, and found the 2019W Lincoln Cent Reverse proof at a big discount. So figured, why not? It is a fairly unique Lincoln, with low mintage of 485,000. These are seller’s pics, as I just got it yesterday night.

    Very nice, and someone else paid to have it slabbed.

    Copper plated zinc. I think they came as an addition to the proof set, wrapped individually in Mint plastic packaging.

    Correct. It is Copper plated. The unique thing is the first W Lincoln, and a reverse proof. They were going for $200 recently, but this one was half that much.

    Look at the date on the coin in the pictures above. Something (maybe reflections) makes it look like it says “2319”.

    Been doing a bit of time traveling, have you? LOL ;)

    Wonder why they show NYC on the slab label?

    I mean, why not, it's OK; just doesn't seem to bear much relation to West Point or whatever.

    It was a reflection. Here is a close up:
