Yay first post!

I have a 1939 penny, while not in the best shape, doesn't appear to have the usual copper coloring to it.

Any suggestions on what may have happened to it?

Thanks

johnnysprawl.......to the forum...When you say the usual copper colouring are you referring to the normal colour of a penny, or is it a golden colour.?

@john100.

It's not magnetic.
Dont know the weight...could find out but will take me awhile to find a good scale/balance.
Plated...yes, that's what I thought too

thanks

Thanks Wert!

I just meant that there is no copper coloring to it like a normal penny...looks as if it is plated...
