<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 3250720, member: 84179&quot;]If they did a non destructive test like xrf or EDS on an SEM they DID NOT analyze the entire composition, only the surface. At best, you are only getting data from a few hundred microns below the surface. Your analytical expert should have been well aware of the limitations of the equipment and I&#039;m surprised he\she didn&#039;t explain this to you. </p><p><br /></p><p>As I wrote in post #18, the composition you posted is consistent with a coin that was zinc plated after it left the mint and The new data confirms that.&nbsp; The Sn is likely from the Zn that was used in the plating bath.</p><p><br /></p><p>You have a post mint plated cent. The analytical data supports this and the opinions of knowledgeable numismatic experts on this thread (including one of the world&#039;s leading experts on error coins) supports this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
