1. Post a front and back image of your coin with a specific question about what you’re seeing or asking about and one coin per topic.

2. Please remove coin from the holder unless it’s US or an official mint case or unless it is graded by a grading service.

3. Images should be taken by a camera or cell phone camera, we ask that members don’t use images through a microscope screen.

4. Always start your own topic, please don’t ask about your coin or post your coin in someone else’s coin topic.

6. No spam. Do not post any links to your coin or other non-coin websites.

7. Always be respectful even if something makes you upset or you don’t agree with a member. You can always get a second opinion elsewhere. If you have an issue then politely ask an admin in an PM. PM’s are for issues, technical and personal, but not for coin questions (refer to number 5 on this list).

Gold silverish super shiny 2009 penny???? HELP!

#1 Unread post by tabitha.parker »

I am still fairly new to coin collecting, I found this in a handrolled penny roll... I can't seem to find any information about it... looks super interesting hoping somebody can tell me a little more about it... there is doubling I can see under my jewellers loop... but what gets me is the super thick edges that are a silvery color while the rest of it appears to be a goldfish color...

This coin has been damaged and the copper plating has been rubbed off and that revealed the zinc planchet. It looks like a coin that was in a dryer for a while and called a dryer coin.
