bduchesne New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 11/13/2012 10:09 am I have a 1932 Canadian penny that is rather unusual. It is not a copper colored one as might be expected but rather is a silver color like a nickel or dime. It appears to be in very good condition. Has anyone encountered this type of coin? I have searched the web for information about it but nothing comes up. Report this Post to the Staff

rocky Pillar of the Community Canada 2784 Posts	Posted 01/02/2017 10:24 am wow Smallcentguy that very is impressive. I find it very hard to photography this metal. the photos that I have taken. just does not show the shine or the color. I will set up a light later. I will then try bouncing the light off the ceiling. that should work. that is some coin you have. I like that coin. the one I have looks about the same as yours. I will try later to get some photos. I know who can photograph this coin thou ray can do it. Report this Post to the Staff
Smallcentguy Pillar of the Community Canada 1984 Posts	Posted 01/02/2017 10:42 am I am pretty sure that mine is plated. Very shiny.....too shiny to be mercury. I think rhodium. Edited by Smallcentguy 01/02/2017 10:43 am Report this Post to the Staff
rocky Pillar of the Community Canada 2784 Posts	Posted 01/02/2017 4:25 pm i am wondering would this coin be worth getting XRF. to find out what the metal composition is of this coin?. now here is a side by side that DBM requested. the coin is very hard to show the shine. so I had to play around with the lighting. the single photos are of the same coins. any thought greatly appreciated.

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9866 Posts	Posted 01/02/2017 8:01 pm I'm not 100% sure rocky, just my best guess, I gave one of my granddaughters a set of low grade GeoV cents, she promptly learned online how to clean them with an ultra soft toothbrush and ketchup. The results look very much like your coin. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
