I'm not sure about the golden color. Are you aware that the metal compositions of the coins are very different? The 1966 is 95% copper. The 2008 is 97.5% zinc with a thin copper veneer. Who knows what the 2008 may have sat in.

The 2008 Lincoln Cent looks like it's been altered. Maybe used for a Science Experiment? Looks like PMD to me. If so, it's only worth 1 cent. Errers and Varietys.

It is probably plated and maybe as a science expirement as has been said. I can't find the post but, here's one I have that looks very similar:   I don't have the edge comparison pic but, the color difference is the same there as well. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020
In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024

The old commercial with the little southern girl in the kitchen cooking with Mommy, " It's Shake 'N Ba-ake, an' ah ha-el-pa-tt!". When you heat a zinc core coin, the chemical processes caused more of the zinc molecules to permeate( migrate) to the thin copper plating. This ally then changes the properties of copper/zinc/tin which is bronze into brass, the gold color. Most likely this was Little Johnnie in High School Science class showing off to the girls. He's apparently graduated from the Garage, sad...his best work was there!  |

That is normal on cents from the 1960s. I think it is caused by a late die stage. (not sure)

I have a 2008 penny that looks gold also.
So science experiment goes out the door.
I was just looking for info myself and seem to only find noncollector comments.
Good luck
