Crystals Mom New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 02/08/2021 1:37 pm I found a 1948 Wheat penny today, but it appears to be more like a dime in color, but only partially.The outside edges are more copper, but the flat face and back are more silver. IS it possible someone tried to pass tis off as a dime by paining it, or are there some 48 pennies that were a blend of metals? I'm new to this forum family, and have begun to collect certain coins.

What you're describing sounds like a clad dime planchet. That wouldn't be possible before 1965, leading me to think that it's damaged somehow. We can't tell for sure without pictures, though.
