Tbwheezy Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Could you please tell me why this penny is this color. I don't collect but have wanted to. I have many many old Lincoln cents but have never seen one this color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Bob Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Welcome to The Forum. Cell phones are notorious for inaccurate reproduction of color, but if I am seeing that correctly, it has a silver look to it. The most likely explanation is that it was plated, possibly as a high school chemistry experiment. We see a lot of those on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
