<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fropa, post: 297944, member: 837&quot;]Is there a good way to tell an actual missing copper zinc cent from one that was plated or altered in some other way? I found one today and have looked at it under a microscope and don&#039;t see any hint of copper anywhere on the coin. The coin has original looking features so I&#039;m fairly sure no chemicals were used to remove the copper layer. I can post pictures Thursday, I haven&#039;t taken any yet. It may be an obviously altered coin to many of you and I&#039;ll look like an idiot for not seeing it myself, but I have to ask because it looks interesting to me. Any pictures of an original example would be appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
