<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1838087, member: 15199&quot;]Replating occurred outside of the mint. So there was no restriking.&nbsp; Advertisements in the 60s, had companies offering to replate your coins , but you had to send them in to do so , as they did not want any problems on themselves. They said to use AU-MS coins with no debris on the surface,but many ignored this and sent in corroded and damaged cents to coat. This led the the bumps and distortions seen on many cents.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think this cent was replated as an experiment or personally. Before environmental laws, replating shops ( especially for chrome bumpers on cars) would replate almost any metal. There use to be 6 or more in town, and now there are none, it is all done in Mexico.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
