    There are silver proofs and copper proofs. It has nothing to do with polish. What are you talking about? More information.

    The only answer I can think of is zinc cents stripped of their thin copper layer are occasionally referred to as silver pennies, just like sac. $ are called golden.

    These moods people come up with sure can be funny, even applicable, but in a fun way. Ha, ha!

    Maybe it was from a silver proof set?

    still curious... you say "it was marked" silver how was it marked? was it in one of those little cardboard squares with clear window? (we call those flips) with writing on the cardboard? was it part of as set marked "silver proof set"
    Curious about your coin
