Heard that you get some mercury in your hands and rub the mercury into the penny and it will turn silver looking. You don't see any pennies like this in the zinc years after mercury was declared public enemy #1. Usually the pennies that show up here like this are from the 60's and 70's era.</p><p><br /></p><p>I remember in high school the science teacher had a little dog dish of mercury for everyone to touch and teach lessons with.
