Im Affraid you are correct and i lost my mind ..thinking i knew what errors are and the numismatic world of coins.

 

The "insides" of Lincoln Cents are the same as the outsides of Lincoln Cents with the exception of the 1943's and the Zincolns.

 

Thank You for your information

 

...however it gives me a chance to post a picture of my "Woodie" again, where the mixture of ingredients in the cent somehow separated and you get this...

 

HI you reminded me what i needed to ask here in these pictures

 

Tough question. If this is a post-1982 cent, it is probably zinc. If before that, it could just be reflection of light from a particularly smooth area. In cleaning ancient coins, using a brass brush on a rough surface, you can rub off some brass onto the surface, perhaps something like that?

 

Hi I forgot the most important question
here in these pictures.

 

question here in the pics ..Thank You

 

This is a 1976 Lincoln cent .

 

All I can figure is some contamination from some source. That cent has had a hard life and who knows what torture it might have been subjected to. It doesn't appear to be any kind of an "error" I have ever heard of or seen.

 

ok did i discovery something new? the silver is what strange to me copper is not silver those letters are not copper colored.

 

I honestly feel like what you have is some sort of damage. You could try and have it authenticated and graded and see what happens.

 

no way thats why i ask here first to save the headaches and Money ..if it was legit something RARE you guys would know i'm pretty sure now.

 

It is the way the light reflects off the surface. Much like pyrite sometimes looks silver until you tilt it then it looks gold.

 

Thank you ...this is all new to me studying the coins but im going to keep trying ..Thank You
