i found this penny about 98 percent of copper is gone very little remains on lincoln a few spots on the reverse has all the copper on the rim the color on obverse and reverse is a dull gold color. any thoughts
No idea, it should be copper, not like the zinc cents of today. Unless it is toning, try to post a picture.
The entire cent is made of copper, so your statement that 98% of the copper is gone is a little misleading. It's not copper coated, but a copper (really bronze) planchet. Really need a pic if possible
penny ok then i guess it is the planchet that is being revealed i will post some pics as soon as i can thanks.
