    can anyone tell me what is going on with this. Is it bad plating? S20180404_0005.jpg S20180404_0006.jpg

    Plating didn’t start until 1982. Lighting is a bit weird and it might be messing with how the coin looks.

    Just Cent is fine.

    It's all copper not plated as mentioned
    Looks like Environmental Damage.

    As I stated looks like Environmental Damage. But sometimes these Cents are plated after the Mint for novelty purposes. Or someone got bored and lightly spray painted it.

    It shines like it just left the mint.

    environmental damage and then a rock tumbler. The first time my brother went metal detecting. He put his in a tumbler and that is what this looks like to me.
