Yes it has LasVegasTeddy but that particular coin does not appear to have been altered as it exhibits some good strike luster.

I would expect a coin that had the copper plating removed to bit a bit duller in appearance.

Maybe Mr. Weinberg will catch this thread and offer some expertise.

Please note, my original reply to this thread did not have the OP's coin displayed but only had robecs coin displayed.

Teddy, the coin pictured is a legitimate non-plated coin. It is in a holder (I can't remember if it's PCGS or NGC, but I think PCGS).

i agree but add the ways described were very coin surface friendly like just in an oven at x temp for x hours

just because it's holdered by no means represents tpg companies could of changed policy too

$200-$300?
Fred has a similar one in pcgs 64

That one looks like a real one that was struck on a planchet without plating.

There are lot's of altered ones out there.
I think this one was altered and it has less detail but still has some luster in light and if you look close there's some copper specs.

pcgs would slab it? what would the remarks on the slab be?

100% Unplated zn planchet.


here it is

After viewing the OP's coin, I believe it to be altered as "unplated" means unplated. The op's coin displays little if any natural luster and has part of the original plating still intact. I do not believe it's possible to have an original coin with only a "piece" of copperplating on it due to the mass production processes of these planchets.

It may have even been zinc plated after the fact.

Only an error expert could tell for certain and that would have to be an "in hand" examination.

Looks like it took a quick bath in Nitric acid.
