 As noted it is just a plated coin. But you never know what you'll find by looking so keep at it. |

Welcome to the forum. It was a unusual coin that I had that brought me to this forum. You will find a lot of knowledge here.
Anyone have lincolncentguy's first couple of posts? :)

Upstate that is very true. I never understood why people get all upset when someone new has a question about something like that. Posts like that just serve to drive people away. Everyone on here was new to numismatics at some point and we should make it a point of honor to be the place they come to ask for advice and not be insulting about it.

I've often wondered if those coins sold with a "platinum" plating or Gold plating - were magnetic. I guess the Nickel plated ones are. Neat find though.

Check the weight to confirm, if it is around the normal weight of 3.1 grams then it has been plated. 2.5g, it's a zincoln. |

I have a penny here somewhere (or did have) that I had on my desk for about a year and its a silver color also but it was copper color when I sat it there. I don't know what caused it but the copper coating has been eaten off of it and I am betting this is what happened here also
