[QUOTE="Duhaul, post: 1964572, member: 71705"]I think I have the very same coin. I've had it in my collection since I was a kid going to the bank and exchanging old rolls for new. My collection was at my Mom's house for 30 years. She recently passed so I found it and took it home. I did a search here on"1956 Shinny Lincoln pennies." I found this coin I had completely forgotten about when going through my loose coins today. I knew there was something significant about it because it is not only shinny with a silver blue cast, but it shows absolutely no wear. The details are are sharp as the day it was minted. My first thought was that this must have been minted on the wrong metal. If it were coated, it would have shown some signs of wear. The answer I found toi my question confirms my suspicion. Now, to find someone to appraise it. What luck![/QUOTE]
