This thread is almost five years old lol.

 

Does it resemble this one in the video? Chemistry experiment.

This is exactly right. Or it has been exposed to heat, or the sun for a period of time.

 

You know, there is a chemistry project that brass-plates the penny. It involves heating the penny after soaking it for a long time in a cocktail of sodium hydroxide and zinc. I'm sure it could be the product of a high school science class

 

He's not the only one, I found one last night. and looking at it, its not been altered, baked, or anything, but it does look like it was made different.

 

It's most likely altered.

 

I think that it could be a modern coin that is missing the zinc shell. These trade online for about $4-$5.

 

I have gotten a 2007 yellow green penny out of a roll about a week ago, I also have a collection over the years of zinc pennies 1991 and 1992D and copper nickels dimes and quarters

 

Thanks for all your inputs.... I just found a 1998 yellow penny with no S under the date and super shiny.

 

Yours looks like mine except way cleaner

it is sooo sad, & actually, i am forcing myself to NOT be lost for words....it is embarrassing & then some & i will try to make a point:
In this "field of study" & even slight interest & intrigue; it is not as though the participants, from slightly curious, amateur hobbyist(myself), up to wise, <1%er experts; would not share being detail-orient(at)ed, able to maintain focus on minutiae, 50/50 chance for eccentricism LOL & an above average short & long term memory AND that sharing some photographic style capabilities. None of these attributes, characteristics, STEREOTYPES are bad. OK BUT, reading MOST of the responses; embarrassing!!! even, i think i lost some I.Q. the responses are ridiculous & riddled w/ allegations of fraud, even large scale CONSPIRACY THEORIES!!!!! Like I said, embarrassing dumbening. People, lets be smart, use common sense (after practicing w/ our eyes first), knowledge, positive thoughts

 

I have the same yellow penny but mine is metal detected.i don't understand.

 

I have a 1929 kroningjk de netherlanden penny with a tiny hole on the edge anybody know what it's worth?

 

Today i found a 1993 penny that looks like gold and thete is no letter under the year that i can find any info

 

This has got to be one of the most bizarre threads on CT. Brought back from the dead multiple times, a weird, OT reply from Califlominn, and not one of the owners of one of these "yellow pennies" is capable of reading before they post.

 

Yeah, they are all just altered cents. Either plated or dipped in some chemical. Not worth anything.

 

I also have a yellow penny from1973 no mint Mark (see photo) I have never seen one before and don’t knot the worth.
