I’ve come across a penny and I’m not really sure what it’s made out of or what it’s worth and I was hoping someone could help. It’s a 1973 D mint silver colored penny. I have pictures if that will help! Thank you
Silver-plated. Should weigh about 3.11 grams. If it is a lot heavier or lighter, it may be struck on a wrong planchet. These are very commonly plated for fun or education.
Not necessarily.. Lighter or heavier Planchet is usually rolled thin or rolled thick correct Planchet.
Only if it is lighter. A 5 Cent planchet wouldn't fit into the press, so the only possibility of wrong planchet is a dime planchet.
