I know I've seen postings on these but not being a error collector ask for input. TY found in change, weighs 2.47 grams and thought was painted but looked deeper and silver is throughout liberty, Lincoln, pillars etc.?
As said above. The silver look is not silver, it is zinc. Something in its environment removed the thin copper plating. This is basically road kill.
As stated, you have a damaged edge copper plated zinc planchet Cents This is ZINC.. it has a silvery color. It's ok to ask your questions in the Error Coins forum
Not a mint error by any stretch of the imagination. It’s a zinc cent with the copper coating removed.
