<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NoLincolnCents, post: 1964301, member: 71701&quot;]Hello all,</p><p><br /></p><p>I recently came across a 1976 Lincoln Cent that feels and looks differently than other cents I have come across. It came as part of a 1776-1976 bicentennial collection. </p><p><br /></p><p>It has a silvery mirror like color, but at the same time it has the cleaning marks like someone electroplated it. They either did a very good job in making the coin give off the silver appearance or do I have something unique? It is not attracted to a magnet and rings differently when dropped. The coloring is also along the rim of the coin. Is it possible someone at the mint struck a 1976 cent on the 1974-1975 experimental aluminum planchet? </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m more inclined to believe that someone has electroplated the coin as a science experiment but thought it interesting it came as part of the bicentennial mint cent. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m hopefully going to be taking this to the coin dealer in the area to weigh it since I don&#039;t have a scale.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
