<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bigjpst, post: 1349453, member: 21015&quot;]To answer earlier questions, they replate cents so that they can put xf-au cents with corrosion or wear into sets like these and sell on shows like Coin Vault.</p><p>[ATTACH]156315.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>And here are some close ups of the plated cents. You can see up close that re-plating is nowhere near as even as the original zinc. There are pits and bumps and the detail of the devices are not the same. Plus on the side you can see where the plating didn&#039;t stick, where as the original unc has the scrape marks from when the blanks were punched from a sheet.</p><p>[ATTACH]156317.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH]156318.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
