I think you can tell from the finish it's not a minted coin and besides I have never heard of a sliver penny being minted. Do folks agree and is there any value apart from a novelty? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Even an undamaged 1945 penny in average circulated condition is of very little value - my local coin dealer chucks them into a tray marked '10 coins for £1'. Keep it as a novelty item!

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19201 Posts	Posted 03/03/2022 3:41 pm Agree with the above. However, there could always be a crazed collector out there who'd pay upwards of a couple USD for it. You never know. Report this Post to the Staff

If its actual silver plating, the amount of silver is so small its not worth a premium either. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Princetane Pillar of the Community 4628 Posts	Posted 03/04/2022 05:01 am Looks like it has been bleached. Either way agree with all the above, a historical curiosity and like NumisRob said in another post, that by the 1960s Pennies suffered all sorts of abuse, being large and cheap coins. This "plating" could have been done anytime but likely before decimalisation. Report this Post to the Staff
