<p>[QUOTE=&quot;garymont, post: 2309154, member: 76794&quot;]Hello, new member here.</p><p><br /></p><p>I came across a silver-colored 1969D penny about 30 years ago. I suspected that it might have been struck on the wrong planchet. According to the 2012 Official Red Book, the dies were changed in 1969 to make Lincoln&#039;s head smaller. I also read an article several years ago that mentioned that the mint tested these new dies using zinc planchets. I can no longer find the article; however I still believe that they may have done so and that some of those coins accidentally made it into circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>It seems that several other people on the internet have found silver-colored 1969D pennies. Most have dismissed them as electroplated fakes, but given the die change, could this actually have been minted by the government?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]465148[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]465150[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
