    Looks like a normal AU slightly circulated cent.

    What about the plating are you asking about ?

    Hello Fred, the reverse has the copper plating stripped off somehow.

    It looks copper to me, plus some
    circulation light toning.

    If the reverse copper plating had been
    removed, you'd see the zinc planchet itself.

    It's just toning. Not an error coin, imo.

    I believe your Cent was urinated on. That rainbow colored toning is what occurs when that is done to it.
    Always wash your hands very well when handling all coins.

    I agree, toning. I don't know why people keep thinking there are errors with these cents unless their like this . cropped-letting-go-open-hands.jpg Lincoln Off Center Obv.jpg

    I do like his image of the edge though, It clearly shows the beveling from the edge to the rim seen on coins that aren't fully struck. The better the strike the wider the flat part on the edge and the smaller the bevels.
