    I found this silver looking 1981 penny and have placed it next to two other 1981 pennies I have to compare the color to. Can anyone tell me what this silver penny is?

    Yes.. It was plated after it left the US Mint. Not a Mint error.

    We turned copper pennies gold in a science experiment in middle school.
