1964 Silver Penny???
1964 Silver Penny???
I came across a few pennies from 1964 and they look silver, I have lots of other silver coins and I can not see the difference. I looked online for any 64 sp pennies but nothing like this. I tried to weigh it and my scale is broken, have one on order. Any help on this one would be appreciated.

Looks like the copper plating wore off and the silver core is showing
I would consider bronzing it

It looks like chrome to me and the result of a science or metal shop experiment with plating.

A 1964 cent is copper, it has no plating. The OP's cent has been plated.

Yep, chem lab or metal shop plating experience with chrome. Keep as an oddity as no extra value.
