Sevenson New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 01/05/2021 11:35 am I have found a 1952 d steel Lincoln Penny .it's in good to fine shape but it's steel. I'm having trouble trying to load image now but will keep trying .is there a reason for this coin? It doesn't appear to be coated because all of the print is in stampable condition.ie no metal in the mint mark or residue of molten steel on coin. Report this Post to the Staff

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 01/05/2021 12:13 pm Was a common High School science project in the 50s and 60s to plate a penny. You can discover them plated in Zinc, Nickel, Tin, Brass and even Mercury amongst others.

No, not worth anything except 1¢ but fun to keep as a novelty coin. EDIT: I shouldn't say only worth 1¢c as there is always an exception it could sell for a small premium if you wanted to sell it Edited by Rothery 01/05/2021 2:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff
