<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 700046, member: 4350&quot;]Hi,</p><p>Also, it is easy to tell from the picture that the coin was re-plated.&nbsp; We call those re-processed cents.&nbsp; After they were minted and after they entered circulation,&nbsp; private companies would clean them up and re-plate the coins in order to make them a little more salable.&nbsp; The common occurrence of the 4 being weak is enhanced by the layer of plating making the 4 look even more weak.</p><p><br /></p><p>The re-plating also contributes to the variations in color of the coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
