[QUOTE="Fred Weinberg, post: 3143429, member: 86437"]I'll post it again - If it's dark, dull and grey, it's been de-plated (like the OP's coin) If it's bright and shiny, it's been re-plated. Genuine Cents struck on unplated zinc planchets are very scarce, and must have the right 'look' and luster. Genuine examples exist since they were first struck, but very very few have been made/released in the past 15-20 years.[/QUOTE]
