They are out there - can't speak for the OP's coin though.

Rackster,
Just to be clear:your 1986 cent looks like it is missing the copper plating.The OP's coin is a 1980 which is a copper coin,also the OP's coin is very shiny as if it was plated in chrome or mercury.

Is your penny slightly magnetic? If so, you have an error

If it is slightly magnetic then he almost certainly has a nickel plated coin. NOT an error.

Hi John - missed the OPs date. I guess it wasn't big enough in the title or I was more enamored by 'silver' . I've seen a few plated jobs at the LCS; usually evident just by visual observation (devices/details wash out). OPs coin has a similar appearance but they are distant shots and blurry.
