<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fred Weinberg, post: 3215782, member: 86437&quot;]Joe,&nbsp; that NGC coin is a good example of how</p><p>I describe genuine vrs. altered zinc cents:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. If it&#039;s dark, dull and grey, it&#039;s been de-plated</p><p><br /></p><p>2. If it&#039;s bright and shiny, it&#039;s been re-plated.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. A genuine Unplated Zinc cent should have luster,</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; and look similar (but different) from a BU Steel Cent.</p><p><br /></p><p>The NGC coin fits #3......and, imo, these are much rarer</p><p>than most error collectors think - one of the reasons they</p><p>don&#039;t bring much is all of the altered pieces&nbsp; (#1 &amp; #2 above)</p><p>that are offered, or believed, to be genuine unplated zinc cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
