It looks like a Wheat penny except for the silver color and weird ring around the outside. It looks like a bad forgery more than a misprint or did someone add it afterward. Hope ya'll can help, thanks and Merry Christmas Report this Post to the Staff

The Lincoln Cent has been plated silver. Terminology corection- Currency is Printed. Coins are Minted. Report this Post to the Staff

It would be considered Post Strike Damage ( PSD), because all of this happened after the coin left the U.S. Mint. You can still save it, since it's a Wheat cent, but throw it into your cull pile.

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 12/11/2018 2:26 pm Quote: playing a card came with my kids A card game with coins and or jewelry pieces. Works for me, the kids need to learn how to play. Seems encased in a coin sized (jewelry) bezel. Hard for me to confirm type of plating and bezel from an image. I'd check with a magnet and then, if not attracted check for any hallmarks on the bezel. I not only collect coins, but also silver, be it scrap or not, it is also on my list. Thanks, Doug.
