Looks fully plated to me... Cents made after mid 1982 are only plated, not clad

 

My father is dead.. My mom is still around.. Strange question to ask buddy

 

Not partially plated.

Stained/fingerprinted,
with a few copper plating
bubbles.

 

Robert Lahti, please read the Rules , especially concerning Language! Jim

 

1984 date means it's all Zinc with a thin coating of copper. A large fingerprint is across the face and it has those common plating bubbles. A true spender.

 

I don't understand why something that looks out of the ordinary, is considered an "error" first instead of first considered as "damaged".

 

Just PMD. Not an error.

 

I wouldn't call toning damage.

 

Because damage doesn't make you rich.

 

It is damage though. Market acceptable damage.

 

Toning is not Damage but toning caused by the environment is. Environmental damage is caused by being exposed to the elements.

 

It really doesn't matter if it's damage or not. What I'm trying to say is that it is NOT a mint error.
