<p>[QUOTE="hilbback, post: 654570, member: 16945"]I realize the likelihood of finding coin struck on the wrong metal is like finding the winning lotto ticket laying on the ground. Of course the exception being the 1943 cent. I have a 1985 D Lincoln cent which would probably grade VF-20 or so but the alarming thing about it is that through all the dirt it appears to be silver in color. </p><p><br /></p><p>1.
