    Either plated or rubbed with mercury....no numismatic value. I have seen a lot of these, even gold plated cents...Cheers, RickO

    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.
