Metallic mercury is not absorbed through the skin.

 

Seems to be making it up as he goes along?

 

Hello I just want to through this at yall, i have a 1972 sliver in color penny also!!!

 

Great.. Most likely also plated.

 

Someone told me it could be a science project. I have no idea. I found my penny at work, at a convenience store. But thank you for responding.

 

Were this coin valuable, your "appraiser" would have tried to buy it from you or at a minimum, told you it was valuable and cited the reason(s).

 

@Lisa Cummings please start a new post as this one is almost a year old and the OP hasn't been heard from since.
Photos are absolutely necessary and be sure to post them FULL IMAGE please.

I am trying to figure out how to post a pic.

I feel silly but I cant figure it out.

 

Strange. I have one just like it. My sister made mine. She was an electrical engineer working on the fire alarm system for a building and she plated a couple of pennies the same way she plated circuit boards. She used zinc for mine.

It's PMD.

 

That's cool, I found mine at a gas station while I was working in Ridgeville SC. I cant find a mint mark on mine.

 

Aluminum is easy to rub onto other smooth metals. It's no longer available, but Rub n' Buff could be rubbed on almost any smooth surface for a very shiny, even, silver-looking finish. There certainly must be something around that could make a penny look like silver. Anyway, in one of the pics of that penny, it had a rather coppery undertone to it.

 

?

 

Sorry about that. If you have the picture as a file, just click "upload a file" and then double click on the file you want to upload. When presented with a choice, choose "full size" or whatever. Good luck. The science experiment is to coat a thin layer of zinc on a cent (silver penny...or aluminum) and then heat it on a hot plate to alloy it with the copper to form brass (gold penny).

 

Chicken or pork rub..........nothing else really matters other than good scotch.......

 

years ago, broke a glass thermometer. gathered the mercury and coated a couple of pennies

 

Are you sure abt. the D? Anyhow yes, sure is shiny!

 

If you omitted the use of capital letters, then you'd really astonish us all.
