<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AmishJedi, post: 4902156, member: 114568&quot;]Hello CT,</p><p><br /></p><p>I found an odd (odd to me at least) colored 2007 Lincoln cent in my latest box hunt - stumped on what it is - any thoughts from the experts?</p><p><br /></p><p>-pictures of a &quot;regular&quot; 2007 alongside the gray colored one (obverse, reverse &amp; rims) attached</p><p>-the rim on the gray cent is solid in color - all of the way around the coin</p><p>-diameter and thickness appear to be the same for both coins</p><p>-you can see some of the red color peeking out under microscope - original luster is present</p><p>-strike/surfaces on the gray cent seems OK - not worn, or pitted like you would expect from acid/chemical damage</p><p>-no signs of cleaning or polishing that I can see</p><p>-researched online for another cent example like it, and came up empty</p><p><br /></p><p>Is this a plating issue (thin plating perhaps) or something else? Would love to hear what the verdict is - I know this isn&#039;t valuable, I&#039;m just curious. When you see a gray cent pop up under all the red/copper, it gets your attention. LOL</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks all!</p><p><br /></p><p>Cheers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
