Art1.2 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 I don't think it's rare. Here's some info on German euros. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_euro_coins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain386 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 art, seems that you dont hold them everyday in hand. 1,2 and 5 cents supposed to be copper(red or brown) This one is golden. I have seen pictures in forum about these before. For sure it is rarer than normal one but personally i dont collect euro coins and dont know much more. Nice find anyway! Edit: If this would be lincoln 1 cent and made from brass or nickel, it would be ultimate rarity and $$$ signs would blink but not sure about euro coins.

pedromonteiro93 Posted May 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 anybody can tell me what is worth ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 I suspect this isn't rare at all. The Euro cent is copper plated, if I'm not mistaken, and so a common experiment done by schoolchildren to make them appear gold would be the answer, involving zinc. Here's a link showing how, but with other coins that are copper-plated. As for worth, I'd guess just one Euro cent, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Is it magnetic? If so, then that would mean that it is steel cored as normal, and is plated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
