<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 3613240, member: 15199&quot;]It seems that you might be mistaking the process. It is the planchets for the coin that zinc blanks that are then electroplated for the outside copper metal layer AND then&nbsp; separately made into the cent coin at the end of the minting process. The copper alloy cents are just minted the old fashion way.&nbsp; Your cent shown as &quot;silver&quot; looks far more like &quot;zinc&quot; plated on a copper alloy cent.&nbsp; Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
