Hello everyone,
Been awhile since I was last on here.

I have a 1968 D Lincoln Cent that's silver and magnetic. Know any info on this?

Thanks for any help/info.

Yes, looks to have been plated. An accurate weight ( to two decimal places) might tell us more.

I agree that nickel plating would explain both the color and the attraction from a magnet.
