<p>[QUOTE=&quot;avid.collector, post: 1561205, member: 40440&quot;]So I have been wondering for some time about the newer small cents.&nbsp; We all know they are made from zinc and coated with copper.&nbsp; When does the copper coating take place?&nbsp; Before or after the coin is struck?</p><p><br /></p><p>I ask because I recently came across a zinc planchet that was unstruck and didn&#039;t have a copper coating on it.&nbsp; So does this mean that the coins are struck on the zinc planchet and then coated after?&nbsp; Or was this just an error that the planchet didn&#039;t get coated beforehand?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
