<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 2709224, member: 84179&quot;]It is obviously plated after it was struck.&nbsp; There is no process in the US mint that plates coins after striking.&nbsp; There are numerous posts of silver colored cents on CT and all have been plated or possibly treated with Mercury.&nbsp; It is possible that to have cents struck on foreign blanks or dime blanks, but they look very different from your coin and would not weigh 3.1gms.&nbsp; Google some images of these to see for yourself (I believe paddyman98 has posted a few from his error collection on CT in the past).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
