Arnie New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 04/28/2007 8:47 pm I have a silver penny that was found in a regular roll of pennies. It has all of the traits of a normal penny, except that it's silver. Is it worth anything? Or why is it like this? I'm not a coin-connoisseur or anything...I'm just sorta interested. Any replies would be appreciated and helpful. Thanks for your time! Report this Post to the Staff

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 04/28/2007 9:16 pm Hi Arnie any chance at a picture ? Your cent is more than likely plated with another metal and is not an error and is more than likely not worth a premium above face value . Please note I used the term (more than likely) ,, this is so I can change my mind if need be once I see the pictures !! Welcome to the forum !! Metalman Report this Post to the Staff

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 04/29/2007 02:46 am The cent looks plated to me ,, is that copper color showing thrugh on the rim ? by weighing the coin you will know for sure it should weight 2.5 grams or just slightly over due to the plating .

Arnie New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 04/29/2007 3:09 pm I wasn't sure if it was a reflection or not...but I'll definitely weight it. Thanks for your help! Report this Post to the Staff
garylcsr Pillar of the Community United States 1952 Posts	Posted 05/04/2007 01:40 am I agree with Metalman. I also see the copper around the rim. it could also be dipped in mercury. in that case I would bury it far away from the kids. JMHO Gary Report this Post to the Staff
