1998 US Silver Penny
Silver Penny? Is this a mistake? I found a penny made with dime material, which is not silver but looks like silver. I'm not sure if it has any value other then 1 cent. Searched in ebay for rare US 1 cent and silver penny, but no luck in finding a good document on what it is.
What seems to be a nickel or dime plated US penny and a regular US penny on the right.
If you have any info on my new found fortune, please feel free to let me know how much it's worth, it's gotta be worth more then $.01, lol

I have a 2001-D penny that looks the same as yours. Very shiny silver, it doesnt stick to a magnet so its not steel. the best i can offer is the weight, which I havent done yet. But, I was told by a coin dealer that it could have been dipped in mercury, which would cause this color. Im not certain of this myself but I would like to know also if there is any value to it.

I believe this coin is not particularly rare...I have seen such cases before...its estimated cost is around 2 to 4 dollars. It is sort of like a 2 dollar bill...special...but not rare!
Thanks,

My studies have proven that if the particular coin is dipped in a thick layer of mercury... result is of a silver color substance. I have done some lab test to back my theory. To get results yourself...try my new lab test wonders DVD. It completely explains this and many other stories or myths. Just kidding....!!!! No but the mercury is true!

It just has been exposed to chemicals. We did that in my high school science class. It turned my penny silver, so maybe somebody spent a "silver penny" and you got it as change or something. its not a special penny, sorry
