<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sidingguy, post: 2120509, member: 28592&quot;]That was my first thought, but I asked a few people who seem to know what chemicals could do such a thing and they all pretty much said that it would have taken much of the zinc as well...the copper plating is completely missing and there are no signs of it anywhere on the coin...not even in the tiny recesses of the coin...it just never had a copper plating...this was also a year that there seems to be several that missed getting the plating done on them...as far as someone dropping it in a parking lot...I can&#039;t tell you what the previous owner was thinking, but a lot of people don&#039;t even think about coins and I think they would not have given it a second thought about losing a penny or they may not even have noticed that they dropped it...I only picked it up &#039;cause I thought it looked strange...I&#039;ve been collecting coins since I was 7 years old, so I always notice coins anywhere I see them...I didn&#039;t even know if it was a coin at first...All I knew was that it was round and flat...it could have been a button for all I knew...It was real dirty and looked like it had been there for quite awhile...so I took it home and rinsed it off and what you see is the results...A guy I know from Coneco (not sure how it&#039;s spelled) thought it was real too...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
