[QUOTE="steverr1, post: 1324988, member: 34880"]Hello..New to this forum. Hope this is the right place for this question. In a collection I purchased there was a 1991 penny in sealed plastic that was PL. The color is hard to describe but I suppose a shade of yellow (Not Gold) would describe it. Before writing I did a search of the forum and found this answer from a forum member to another members question about a 1991 penny: 1) chemically damaged 2) a science experiment 3) an actual brass plated planchet from the mint if anyone knows The first 2 make it worth 1 cent, the last one makes it worth a buck or two on a good day. That answer sounds like it could apply but the strange thing is that a magnet picks it up? As a new member I didn't want to post pictures and waste time if this has already been answered. If it has could you direct me to the post. If not and you need pictures I will supply them 12-15-11. I would really be surprised if it had any value over a penny.
