Tiffany Whitlow New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 06/30/2016 12:02 am Not a coin collector, but I ran across this silver colored 1964 penny, weight of 3.1g - not a single bit of copper look to it. Does not stick to a magnet, not extremely worn. Is this rare, mercury coated or a science experiment? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by Tiffany Whitlow 06/30/2016 12:04 am Report this Post to the Staff
