I plate old automotive parts by the 55 gallon drum. One of the finishes is clear zinc. I will toss in some dirty copper 1 cent coins in the batches to check strip and plating quality, as they should come out "shiny". .
If you need more of these, send them to me, post paid both ways, and I will make as many as you want for 5 cents each.

Keep looking. You're not far from me, so you should find more. LOL. I've dumped hundreds of gold plated coins into Coinstars over the last several years.
