<p>[QUOTE="d_lairson, post: 255901, member: 8441"]While going through my grandfathers collection I found this 1979 Lincoln cent. To me it looks like a zinc cent with the copper removed, but I don't think that they made zinc cents in 1979. I think it might be plated in something, but how do I tell without damaging the cent? And then what would you plate it in? It isn't shiny like chrome or silver, it's kind of dull. </p><p><br /></p><p>Tell me what you think...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
