It is a 1959 cent that looks silvery (though I am fairly sure not made of actual silver) and not at all like usual copper cents. It looks almost like it has a seam around the edge with a slightly different color/metal on either side. I'd appreciate if anyone has any idea what this is! Report this Post to the Staff
