<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 3469440, member: 66&quot;]The problem is if it doesn&#039;t show the mint luster it is pretty much impossible to say if it was originally a non-plated planchet.&nbsp; Because a circulated piece will pretty much look identical to on that has had the plating stripped off and then carried as a pocket piece to wear away the rough surfaces from the chemical stripping.&nbsp; Both will look like a worn zinc cent.&nbsp; I seriously doubt you will ever see an authenticated non-plated zinc cent that doesn&#039;t show mint luster.&nbsp; The luster can&#039;t be faked, wear can.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
