Probably been dipped, but can't tell without pictures

 

Here are the pics a little more whitish though

 

2 possibilities,mercury coated,or plated.doesnt look like anything valuable,we have seen alot of these posted in various years.sorry

 

its fine but there are dents in the back but no copper underneath almost like the metal is solid

 

those dents could have been there before it was plated (if it was). Can you weigh it? it should weigh 3.11 grams of near there.

 

Yeah its about 3.10

 

Looks like the ones we used to chrome plate in Auto Shop. I will post a pic of one, as soon as I can find it.

 

It's plated It's a form of post mint damage.

Thanks,
Bill

 

well at least now i know still kinda cool though
