[QUOTE="ddd, post: 1178841, member: 30990"]Greetings, This is my first post so please go easy on me... on second thought, let me have it. I have a 1999 US One Cent coin that is [B][COLOR=gray]silver [/COLOR][/B]in color. It found me while I was working in the accounting office of a supermarket (November of 1999). I was stacking brand new rolls of coins (in transparent plastic wrapping) in the safe when something caught my eye. Towards the end of one of the new rolls was a flash of silver. Sure enough, I split open the roll and amongst the copper shine was a silver penny. I immediately gave it to a numismatist friend for safe keeping. He put it in a cellophane/cardboard holder and said he didn't have a clue about it. I haven't thought about it until I rediscovered it a few moments ago. Only two people have held this coin, so I guess it would be considered uncirculated. I kept a roll of new quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies from that year, so I can show you what kind of wrapper it was in when I found it. I will upload pics once my wife gets home with our good camera. Can anyone tell me any information about this coin? Cheers, DDD.[/QUOTE]
