<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dbeck22, post: 3082515, member: 90571&quot;]I have a 1994 D lincoln cent that has some silver looking color in a couple spots.&nbsp; The coin has no raised or upset rim like a normal penny.&nbsp; It is very flat, straight across.&nbsp; Very similar to a proof, the edges are almost sharp 90 degree angles.&nbsp; When examining the coin, I touched the face, ( I know I&#039;m not supposed to..) and it feels different than a penny.&nbsp; </p><p>The coin weighs 2.45 on my scales and they are correctly calibrated. </p><p>I read this page about &quot;silver pennies&quot; <a href="https://www.pcgs.com/news/authenticating-silver-pennies/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/news/authenticating-silver-pennies/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pcgs.com/news/authenticating-silver-pennies/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>And this coin has many of the traits he mentions.&nbsp;&nbsp; I can even see a letter on the edge of the coin.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot; <i>Most of the time, this spreading will also cause some excessive flow marks to appear on at least some of the characters close to the rim. Some letters (or at least their tops) will appear as though they are actually spilling over the edge of the coin when viewed under magnification</i>.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t tell exactly what letter it is... but it looks like lettering at least.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I have looked for features of a dime on the coin and I can faintly make out some images, however, my mind might have made these images up from staring at the coin for so long....</p><p><br /></p><p>I want everyone&#039;s opinion.... is this a penny struck on a dime.... or is this an ugly penny?&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]776488[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]776489[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]776490[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]776491[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]776492[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]776493[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]776494[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]776495[/ATTACH] </p><p>Any information you could give me would be greatly appreciated.&nbsp; Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
