I have a 1960 penny that appears to be silver, when tested with a magnet it will not stick to it does anyone know the value or what it might be?
Zinc would be a dull gray color. My guess is it's not silver, but a metal with a color similar to silver. Even if it is silver, the amount on the coin would have a negligible value, if any at all.
If it was minted out of a silver blank that was not removed in the minting process wouldn't it be rare and have value like the 1943 penny
There are a few pennies known struck on dime planchets, and yes, they're worth a fair amount of money, but nothing like a genuine 1943 copper penny. They would have an odd edge since the dime's smaller and thinner than a penny. Photos, please!
Back in the days of film and darkrooms, you could recover silver from spent photographic fixer by precipitating it out using powdered zinc. You could also plate it onto a copper cent and have a cool looking "silver" cent. There is a chance that your coin was struck on a dime planchet, in which case it would be worth some money. What does it weigh?
Despite being asked a number of times, OP will not post pictures or the weight of this 'silver' cent. Troll?
He only posted 2 hours ago, give him a chance to respond, maybe at work with no way to make images, and certainly no way to weigh precisely...
C'mon, Rick! You should know better. How many times have people posted threads about a strange coin without photos only to chime in later telling us they were at work? You know it's a waste of time, but how are you going to stop it? Maybe you could call his boss and tell him that he's loafing on the job. Then, when he gets fired, he'll have more time to spend at home posting the photos that should have been posted from the beginning. Chris
