Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 01/21/2007 6:05 pm Hi bald eagle Have you tried picking the cent up with a magnet ? It is morethan likely either a foregn plachet or a normal 55 has been plated with another metal. But I will wait to hear about the magnet !! Metalman Report this Post to the Staff

Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 01/21/2007 10:37 pm My first feeling on this is that the 1955 was dipped or coated in some chemical that changed the color. There is still a slight goldish cast to it. Report this Post to the Staff
