Coolmobd Valued Member United States 106 Posts	Posted 02/21/2022 03:21 am I found a 1975 D mint penny. This penny weighs 3.06 grams but the copper finish peeled off leaving a beautiful silver like tone that is not magnetic. Any ideas? Report this Post to the Staff

nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 02/21/2022 5:30 pm has the appearnce of having been harshly cleaned, perhaps with a wire brush Report this Post to the Staff
Coolmobd Valued Member United States 106 Posts	Posted 02/21/2022 5:39 pm You are right. But if you use a wire brush on a copper coin. You still have copper coloring not silver. Report this Post to the Staff
1847bill Valued Member United States 465 Posts	Posted 02/21/2022 5:49 pm The penny was plated and is peeling in areas showing the copper underneath. Scratch a silver area and see. Report this Post to the Staff
Coolmobd Valued Member United States 106 Posts	Posted 02/21/2022 6:02 pm That copper layer was the top finish. It rubbed off. not the silver. Report this Post to the Staff
Coolmobd Valued Member United States 106 Posts	Posted 02/24/2022 4:50 pm The copper coating wore off this penny revealing a beautiful shiny planchette of an unknown source. You can see on the obverse the reminence of the copper coating. The coin weighs 3.06 grams. That's within the allowable tolerance for the copper coin. However it is most certainly not copper. Any help from my council of wise men would be greatly appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff
