Can someone help me? I've got an 1888 cent that is obviously not bronze. Damage aside, what does anyone think this coin could be worth? Is this the real deal? Thank you.

We will need a photo to judge the color,
and since you just joined, you won't be able to post a photo for a day or two.
OK thank you.
it could have been dipped in something to change color
what color is it?
Hopefully it hasn't been dipped in mercury.
While we wait for pictures, weigh the piece and let us know it's weight.
“I believe in intuitions and inspirations. I sometimes feel that I am right. I do not know that I am. When two expeditions of scientists, financed by the Royal Academy, went forth to test my theory of relativity, I was convinced that their conclusions would tally with my hypothesis. I was not surprised when the eclipse of May 29, 1919, confirmed my intuitions. I would have been surprised if I had been wrong. I am enough of the artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” Albert Einstein- quoted in Saturday Evening Post interview (1929)
“Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.” For Einstein, honesty was fundamental. Attention to truth in small things reflected a person’s integrity on a larger scale.
Probably plated. As mentioned, start with the weight.
@kastratit336 ... Welcome aboard (and I hope the process was not painful
).... As above, post pictures in a couple of days and we will help you. Cheers, RickO
Hello all, here are pictures of the coin. I'm not at home but will weigh it when I can. Thank you.
Looks like a replica to me. If somebody were to offer a nickel for it, take the money and run.
