<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 617549, member: 66&quot;]Replated with STEEL??&nbsp; Will not rust??&nbsp; How do you plate something with steel?&nbsp; How do you get the carbon to go along and impregnate the iron during the plating process?&nbsp; And if you could I bet it would look like a mess.&nbsp; Supposedly this replating makes them look like they did when they were new, but when thye were new they had a zinc surface not a steel one.&nbsp; Proof quality?&nbsp; I bet he means a mirror finish, something the originals never had.&nbsp; My bet is they are either nickel or chrome plated.&nbsp; And he has probably used circulated coins.&nbsp; You can&#039;t tell of course because all you have to judge is anoblique out of focus group picture.&nbsp; And finally, when you replated comething like this you typically start off with an acid bath to strip the old plating off and lightly etch the surfaces so the plating holds better.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
