quite often, we get questions on "strange errors" here......
there are quite a few people out there that "experiment" on coins,....we hugeeyes a great deal of these here !
anyhoo, here is a 1957 D LC i picked up the other day in change as a "dime".....
notice how the 'plating' is not on the "outer rim" ??
who knows why a '57D was used, maybe practice for some other coin :confused: :dunno :confused:

Re: FAKE ERROR COINS !!
Thanks Paul. That is interesting. So that is a 1957 Lincoln cent that has a "silver" color plating on most of it?

Re: FAKE ERROR COINS !!
yea, it looks 'vacuum metalized' to me....... :dunno
i used a 'small laboratory' unit in the past, & the surface looks to nice & uniform to be 'painted' on.
....& it hugeeyes's to have the plating on the 'coins outer edges' worn off from circulation .... JMO

Re: FAKE ERROR COINS !!
Thanks.
Never seen that before so it is very worthwhile trying to commit that one to memory. (The grey matter between my ears seems to be as soft, pliable and absorbent as the grey stuff they plated that LC with. lol: )

I see many of these and this must have been a "thing" in the past or they were sold as novelty items.
