There's no coating of zinc mixture. The plating is copper. The zinc is on the inside. It looks normal to me.
It's supposed to weigh 2.5 grams with a +/- tolerance of .10 making the normal range 2.40-2.60. While it is slightly over weight, it generally has...
Some people collect. It's probably in the genetic nature of a human being. But other people hoard. One is acceptable and one is not. If you don't...
I only clicked once.
Hand cut from a sheet. The high serial is the giveaway. It's worth $2.
Been seeing a lot of these posts. When was the last time a coin had this error? I don't recall any modern ones that do. I remember the 1955 nickel...
Yes I agree. It's just a 1. There's no 2 there.
It's supposed to be zinc. I don't know what the question is.
Your coin has full cent rims. It was struck on a cent planchet. Read my post again.
I recall Reinfeld was a very bad chess author. [ATTACH]
If it weighs correctly, it's not on a wrong planchet. It can't be on a larger planchet (it won't fit). So, if it is on a smaller planchet it can't...
When it is missing a clad layer on one side, first thing is weigh it. If it weighs normal (5.67g) it's not missing a clad layer. Also when it is...

3 cents max for decent condition wheat backs that aren't low mintage.
There really aren't any valuable 1982 cents. They made 17 billion that year. Sure there are 2 1982-D small date copper. But you or I would more...
While the OP coin does appear to match johnmilton's genuine example, I don't like the color at all. If it is a fake, the dies that made this could...
It could be a mint error (no value) if there was grease or debris in the die at that spot and when the coin was struck that number didn't. There...
Good hunt today. The Sacagawea is 2003-P. It must be NIFC with a mintage of only 3 million. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I think if you try to flip it you are going to lose $900.
1957 they did make proofs in Philadelphia. If your coin is a proof, it is an impaired proof since it has circulated. I put the value between .05...
