Purchased a coffee and girl broke open a cent roll. Recieved this in change.

    Looks like your up 9 cents.

    Looks like paint to me.

    Cheap phone. It is definitely platted. Not sure it could ever be determined to be from the mint.

    The question is... is it copper plated zinc? How much does it weigh?

  • Jim500Jim500 Posts: 37 ✭✭


    I do not have a way to weigh it.
    Metal looks off but I assumed the process would do this

    If it's plated, it's definitely NOT from the Mint. They don't plate coins.

    Someone was playing around with it.

    Are you sure it's not a Morgan dollar?

    I only know that it is not painted and appears to be copper.
    Just thought it was strange to come from a cent roll.
    Just add it to the collection.

    Hand-rolled. Looks like a cent. You made 9 cents on the deal. There are worse outcomes.

    It's not really collectible. You could plate a whole bag of dimes with a voltage source and a couple dollars with of copper sulfate, if you wanted.

    It looks like a miss-annealed planchet
    This type of “copper” is from the planchet being over–annealed
    This is been a fairly common occurrence on nickels and dimes in the past 20+ years or so –
    this is the first one I’ve seen dated in the last few years.

    If it is what I believe it to be, it would have a nice premium - would probably be worth
    $35-$45 or thereabouts
