I'm hoping some of you have seen this coin before and can give me an answer. Please let me know if the photos are not clear enough. I Found this penny coin roll hunting and it stuck out like a sore thumb for obvious reasons. It weighs 3.09 grams and is mostly silver in color. If this is an error coin, what kind is it? Is it worth sending it in for grading? Thank you for your help and support! Happy hunting! Report this Post to the Staff

Kopper Ken Pillar of the Community United States 3402 Posts	Posted 07/08/2019 6:43 pm 3.09 grams is well within mint tolerance...color as already advised is probably due to environmental damage, but the "silveriness" is not too clear from your pics. Maybe put it next to a dime or quarter for a comparison. KK Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 07/10/2019 3:30 pm Could this have been "Plated" with Mercury that's slowly wearing away?
