<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collect89, post: 1858575, member: 15445&quot;]There is a high school chemistry experiment (described at this link) that turns regular pre-1983 cents to silver and gold colors.&nbsp; <a href="http://www.metacafe.com/watch/428318/make_gold_and_silver_pennies/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.metacafe.com/watch/428318/make_gold_and_silver_pennies/" rel="nofollow">www.metacafe.com/watch/428318/make_gold_and_silver_pennies/</a></p><p>If your coin has the same weight as other pre-1983 cents, then you probably have a normal pre-1983 cent that has had its color alterred.&nbsp; The value of such a coin is essentially face value.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If your coin weighs the same as a 1972 dime and it includes evidence of clad coinage at its edge, then you might have a cent struck on a dime blank.&nbsp; The value of a true cent struck on dime blank might be a few hundred dollars.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Did you find this information useful?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
