Sorry to sound like a NOOOOB but I am one. What’s going on here. This is the only silver 1950 pfennig I could find but I wouldn’t be surprised if I just haven’t looked deep enough. I took pictures of my 2 others. Ucoin says it’s made of copper plated steel. Is it possible the copper coating faded or is there an error happening here?
It's not fake and it's not silver. It just looks like it was handled, cleaned, was through a washing machine, something like that. It's not an unusual color for those coins.
