<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kirkuleez, post: 1991719, member: 36864&quot;]No one here is skeptical about the mint making mistakes. We are very aware that they make millions of mistakes every year (which is not bad for the billions of coins that they produce). The problem is that when they do make mistakes, they can be identified how the error occurred by deducing what went wrong during the minting process. There are known Lincoln cents with the copper cladding missing, but yours looks nothing like them at all. Why would you think that a business strike coin would have a mirrored edge simply because it is missing the copper cladding? Why would the mint specially polish a zinc blank and press it with new dies that were polished like very old proof dies?&nbsp; The simple answer to these question is that they would not. The most plausible explanation is that the coin was plated after it left the mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
