blj1313 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 07/19/2020 2:01 pm Hey everybody. I'm new to the Coin World. I found a 1993 silver colored Lincoln Penny and I could surely use some help/ advice on trying to figure out what it is. I weighed it and it is around 2.5grams on my scale. If you have any info please inform me if you can. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

SwmpOwl011 New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 07/19/2020 7:31 pm People sometimes burn/melt the copper plating off a penny and the remaining zinc coating is a silver color. Thats what it looks like to me. Didn't come from the mint like that. Do you know the weight of coin? Report this Post to the Staff
