Hello,

I know nothing about coins. Today I found a 1964 penny with a silver front and copper back. Do I have something rare or is this normal. I've never seen this before. Thank you.

@gigi4545, first welcome to CCF. Second, you have a normal cent that has been plated on one side. It is interesting to look at, but is only worth face value as this was done after the coin left the mint and is considered damage.

It's an altered coin. It's a spender.

It has been plated. Worth face value.
