<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jcuve, post: 525698, member: 13945&quot;]I hate to post a reply in this thread so late, but I have a 1988 plate-job Lincoln that I bought as an unplated that I wanted to share. I posted it on LCR and a few members chimed in and suggested it could have been plated. Honestly I never considered that as a possibility. M. Diamond confirmed that it was plated after I sent it to him for analysis. </p><p><br /></p><p>In the interest of adding to the collective information (or lack of) regarding unplated cents here is mine. You&#039;ll notice it is rather lustrous which I am told is uncommon for genuine examples. When it was weighed it was above weight as opposed to being below like it should have been. It is came in at 2.64 grams, normal clads are 2.5 and unplated versions (genuine or copper striped) are apparently around 2.45 grams ... </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww322/jcuve/1988P_no_copper.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://www.cointalk.com/forum/%3Ca%20href=%22http://s732.photobucket.com/albums/ww322/jcuve/?action=view&amp;current=1988P_no_copper.jpg%22%20target=%22_blank%22%3E%3Cimg%20src=%22http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww322/jcuve/1988P_no_copper.jpg%22%20border=%220%22%20alt=%221988%20unplated%22%3E%3C/a%3E" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
