Pennygirl00 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 04/13/2020 6:55 pm I have a 1959 gold or silver looking penny I found while going through my husbands old coins. I was wondering if anyone may have any info on it as seeing I can't find anything. Was wondering if it maybe of any value or if it's just a conversation piece.

Kloccwork419 Pillar of the Community United States 1359 Posts	Posted 04/14/2020 2:06 pm Could be plated. Maybe heated. Could just be a shiny proof. Hard to tell the actual color but it looks silver in the picture. I'm guessing it was heated to try "toning" it Report this Post to the Staff
DeadElvis Valued Member United States 137 Posts	Posted 04/14/2020 8:17 pm I agree with Jasper62. We plated coins in high school. That might be chrome, nickel or zinc. I have a copper plated quarter somewhere that our science class did in 1986. Looks (or looked then) like a shiny new penny. Report this Post to the Staff
