1993 no copper plating?

[lincent]

I found this coin in a roll of bank. It has a beautiful luster and looks like uncirculated. It may be the work of an expert or can be genuine? That is my question.

Rather than unplated, I'd argue it's plated. It looks too glossy for the surface of the natural zinc core.

The glossy sheen suggests it has been plated with a white metal. The coin's weight is needed. I suspect it will be around .1 grams higher. An unplated would run .05-.1 grams less than normal.

The coin weighs 2.6 gs.

[jcuve]

It is overweight, somewhere around .1 gram depending on how sensitive your scale is. Most likely plated over the copper plating...

The coin weighs 0.1 g + than a normal cent, ie 2.6

[jcuve]

Forgot the decimal .1, typing too fast...

Let's begin: The weight of the coin is 2.6 g, no weighs 3.5 g

no weighs 3.5 g

From where comes now the 3.5 Grams? :squigglemouth:

[lincent]

Previously it was talking to the characteristics of the type of coin should weigh 1 g higher than normal cent.

Effectively, sorry jcuve did not say 1 gram, said 0.1

[Erdnussbier]

Ah okay now i understand it... ;)

Effectively, sorry, jcuve did not say 1 gram, said 0.1. It. That means that the suspicion is correct.

Also an cognizance xD
