Guest Andrew R Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 Hi i was given a silver 1p dated 1999 in my change from the shop the other day and didnt know if this was real or not...So i basically have a couple of questions...1. Is the coin a real coin or is it just a coin someone has made up, i mean did they ever make a silver penny2. Is the coin worth anything like is there a collectors market or where these mast produced, any help wold be great Quote
scottishmoney Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 Chances are someone plated it for novelty purposes, then it got spent. Quote

But I'm unaware of any silver pennies in 1999.Hope this helpsPaul Quote
Guest Guest Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 The penny that you describe could of been copper coated steel.These were produced from 1992.Quick test is put a magnet on it. Quote
