Because it isn't :)
It's not an unplated cent. It has been stripped of it's copper plating. You can still see bits of copper on both the obverse and reverse.
Wars are 42(P&S)-45. You can tell them apart by the large mint mark on the reverse. I've pulled almost 2 full rolls of wars since I started...
Agreed - the zinc cents suck. I just thought they may be small cuds since they were right on the rim. Learn something new every day :)
I personally wouldn't pay more than melt for the ASE and the Morgan. The ASE is just bullion and looks to be kinda grody and spotty. The Morgan...

I look for 79 wide rim and 81 PDS SBA's, 02-08 and 12-13 Sacs, and post 12 Pres dollars. There are also proofs, the Cheerios Sacs, no edge...
I am currently sitting at 1 IHC per 91,000 coins searched.
The reverse is gorgeous. The obverse? Well you GOTTA respect that 'stash. :)
