<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nolan Workman, post: 2789611, member: 87452&quot;]As I mentioned above, I got this coin from a 90 year old man, I did not entertain the idea the coin was refurbished, he was a young man in &#039;43 so it could have come into his possession as a new coin. Not knowing about the plating issue, I looked at the coin and discovered the die crack on the reverse and I thought it cool, found references on Wexler to some other areas on the coin, so I posted it, thinking it was the real deal and immediately stepped into the plating issue. I scrambled to find the site that referenced the process and reported back that, at a minimum, it was re-plated with zinc evident on the edges, further, I found refurbished coins in novelty cards and I figure the coins were plated to make them more attractive to sell. On the upside, I got a lot of positive input and ideas for my optics.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
