    A real cent that has been plated (or rubbed with mercury - back in the old days we used to do that).

    someone can plate any metal coin with whatever

    the cointvsharks sold platinum plated statehood quarters to the gullible, they have value but not much more than 25 cents


    yours probably not much more than 1 cent, but you might be able to sell it to someone for a dollar...
  • Thanks guys appreciate it...

    No, it is not a real penny.
    The USA does not make pennies.
    The coin is a cent!

    Put any clean post 1982 cent on a cookie sheet in a 350 oven for a few hours and you will have a cent like that.

    US Treasury calls them a penny and a cent.

    Just like the terms engine and motor are now interchangeable.

    The escalator covers all, well, escalators.

    Xerox is synonymous with photo copying

    Kleenex, Scotch Tape,

    The battle has been lost.

    Move on with your lives, citizens.

    Back on Topic:

    I have a metal shop I use to refinish my classic auto parts. In the Zinc line, they have "clear" which is white, yellow, which looks like gold anodize, and black, which is black.

    I toss in steel cents in the clear line, along with "trash" foreign coins, rusted or corroded, to see how they do. The batch I got back this week included a 1902 French 5 centime, a 1943 Canadian 1 cent, several 1919 to 1921 German 5 pfennig, and an unknown Japanese coin. It takes coins that normally would be trashed, and makes them "appealing" and I give them away.

    I will also toss in some 1970's cents just to mess around. I don't do late (Zincoln's) as they do not survive the strip process (zinc is eaten up)
