<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 4021851, member: 15199"]Here is an article that ends with an attempt to duplicate the mint process. Several articles seem to agree that the coating of copper is not exactly the same thickness over the whole cent, with the edges being thicker than the central areas. Also there is no reason for a reasonably straight line , and a somewhat jagged edge at that as electroplating should be somewhat diffuse in deposition. I guess if someone covered the coin with tape, glue, etc. , the covered areas would look somewhat like this. I would lean to removal based on the photo. IMO, Jim</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.comsol.com/blogs/electroplating-u-s-mint-makes-penny/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.comsol.com/blogs/electroplating-u-s-mint-makes-penny/" rel="nofollow">https://www.comsol.com/blogs/electroplating-u-s-mint-makes-penny/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
