I found this on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/WHITE-STRUCK-1957-P ... 240%3A1318
This is an obvious scam, the guy lists many of them (none on currently) Be very careful.

Re: Coin "white struck" scam- AVOID
I have some them zinc plated pennies. I also have a copper plated 1943 steel cent. I wish people would learn about coins before they buy.

I didn't think the mint produced such a thing. Looks like it's dipped in mercury.

I agree with you there. The coin is obviously dipped in Mercury.coinnut wrote:I didn't think the mint produced such a thing. Looks like it's dipped in mercury.

Re: Coin "white struck" scam- AVOID
Yes, but he states that "THE COIN IS NOT PLATED", and "IT LOOKED LIKE THIS WHEN I TOOK IT OUT OF THE MINT SET', and is he wanted to be "honestly dishonest" he could dip it in mercury, and it would not be plated. But you are correct. Mercury is dangerous to play withTPGSadmin wrote:It's mercury or zinc, and mercury is dangerous to play with.

Re: Coin "white struck" scam- AVOID
If I found a mint set with a coin like this, sealed in the original cello, I would send it to PCGS and let them take out to grade and authenticate it. I would get thousands for this coin, but he settled for $119 and some change.
I hope he told the truth, but the bidder should no better than to take the chance. And we wonder why are economy is in such a shape with people spending money like this on a chance and a dream.
