    I acquired this ridiculously and extremely shimmering U.S.A. Lincoln penny. Can someone tell me more about it please? Thank you.

    It is not a proof.
    Just another plated penny.
    We get about ten a day here lately.
    Worth 1 cent.

    As said, it's an altered coin. No value.

    Exactly..... The penny can be picked up by a magnet.

    Yes, plated LMCs can certainly stick to magnets. I have seen many.
    But it is still PMD. Not an error or variety.

    The rims are too rounded (beveled) to be a proof.

    Figured you would say something like that. The truth is not always easy to take.

    There are the 1943 steelies, and then in 1944 some 1943 planchets were struck.
    I think about 40 of them. USA Coin Book lists 39. 30 in Philly, 7 in Denver and 2 in San Fran. There is also the famous aluminum 1974 cent, which was never issued.
    But, any modern Lincolns that look like steel or silver are either plated, or some kind of mercury experiment.
    Here's a 1990 no S:

    So you’re thinking you have a 1990 no S Proof Lincoln made of steel. There are fewer than 200 known to exist in the regular composition of copper plating over zinc. However there are almost 7,000,000,000 1990 no S (Philadelphia) minted MS Lincolns of which any one can plate with any number toppings.

    Are there any videos on these coins that are from the 1990's as a steel or any other variety? Are there others out there?..... I've never seen them. The coin was found in circulation; it's bound to have wear. I don't really care about the value..... I love the find; isn't that's why we're all here? I'll send it in anyways..... And be done with it. Thanks for all of your comments; may Christ bless you all.

    Agreed; I would love to find out it's origin.

    No offense, but you still don't seem to understand:
    You have a plated cent. It was plated after it left the mint.
    It is not steel.
    It is worth one cent.
    End of story.
