Susan J Presley New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 03/31/2017 5:22 pm Hello! I found this silver 1970 penny in my dad's collection after he passed away last year. I'm having trouble finding info about it online. Any help would be very appreciated! Thanks! Susan Report this Post to the Staff

Susan J Presley New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 03/31/2017 9:43 pm I'll dump it in the change jar with the others, and let some other person be confused, then. :-) Thanks! Dad had a large collection, but I suspect most of it is just like this... sort of a novelty, but not worth anything. Just a "for fun" collection. Thanks again. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 03/31/2017 11:19 pm I have a few myself 1970 1971 1943 but I think they are chrome plated - I don't know how to tell the difference if they are chrome or silver though. I also have a couple of gold plated ones. They rust out so bad that this is actually a good way to keep them decent looking. Silly me to CCF family, keep coming back.
