hello I saw your post about your 1964 silver penny on here from a few years ago. I am writing this reply to see if you had ever found anything else about the 1964 silver penny my husband was going threw some of his old box up thing that had been laying in the closet and found his 1964 silver penny that he has had for years and years and had just forgot about having it we did research on it trying to find out if they were a lot of them made and if so was they worth anything I would really like to learn more about this penny if you have any knowledge on this particular coin please reply I would love to know more about it I know it is the only one I have ever seen Thanks I hope to hear from you soon ~Jen~

 

It could be several things, but images would be necessary to give you any worthwhile information. Welcome to CT.

 

Jennifer, perhaps this could be helpful to you.


I remember doing this in Science classes in school. Wasn't as much fun as blowing stuff up but.. was required.

 

Did you ever find a value to this coin? I also have one of these chrome Penny's. I also have a 1/2 chrime 1/2 copper one.

 

The value was one cent because it was the result of Post Strike Damage.

 

i have one that is 3.10 G and has a blueish tint. but what is it?

 

A cent that was tinted blue.

 

A lot of cent coins have been altered by plating them with other metals such as chrome , nickel and silver.

 

It's been going on for years.

 

MS70 coin cleaner is also know for sometimes giving copper a blue tint.

 

Probably tinted

 

I have found the same type of Penny and I'm currently trying to get it authinticated.in fact through a years worth of searching I've found out thru the freedom act that the United States MINT was doing a highly top secret experiment with the changing of the metal content to save money on cooper anyways they were 25 different metal experiments made at the Philadelphia mint.what I've found is that it's a 1964 bronze nickel steel planchet that was supposed to be struck on a NICKLE NOT a penny.so I believe that THIER are a very limited few that remains some was gave out as gifts.like joe biden.he got 1 but voted it down due to child safety.

 

Let us know the results ASAP!
