[QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 2564110, member: 307"]There are not two different types of plating. In fact, these coins are not plated at all. All Lincoln Cents made prior to 1982 were made from a brass alloy. The Cents made post-1982 were copper-plated zinc coins. These just have a different patina than the coins that were plated. I hope that helps.[/QUOTE]
