[QUOTE="L Rabineau, post: 2781757, member: 88388"]Hello, I also have a silver colored penny that I have had for years. I worked at a bank for many many years and we used to recieve coins from our distributor in bags that we had to wrap for our customers. Within one or two years of 1976 (it has been so long that I can't remember the exact year but know it was close) I was in the process of opening one of the bags and at the bottom of the bag stuck in the corner was this cent. I saved the coin and replaced it with one of my own cents. The two photos I am sharing are deceiving because they give a gold color to the coin around the edges when there is none. I am thinking it is coming from my camera. I have tried to weigh the coin and all I have is just a cheap letter weigher that you used to be able to buy to weigh letters with. It does look to be half way between the 0 and the 5 gram. Thoughts please, because of the way in which I have come across the coin originally? Thank you.[ATTACH]643698[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]643699[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
