[QUOTE="alurid, post: 3858624, member: 81991"]The copper plating is only 8 microns thick and does not add much weight. Your coins surface looks quite grainy like the copper was removed chemically. 18 years of exposure to the environment could also make the surface look grainy. I don't think there is any way to prove that it came from the mint unplated, so it can not be called a mint error.[/QUOTE]
