LostDutchman Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 the cent looks like it has been plated....the coins then were made of copper and didn't have the zinc core....I have seen coins like that quarter before from what I can tell they are post mint damage...

Guest Stujoe Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 That would be my value estimate too. 26 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 50cents Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 $.26 = 2 packs of ramen noodles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan769 Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 yep .26 cents, that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleBobo Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 Bring the coins to vegas Play the penny and the quarter slots. That's the best suggestion I got at 12:46 AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orfordmike Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 or you could use them as a down payment on your power bill. Recently. R E C E N T L Y. What college? I weep for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brett Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 I have to agree 26 cents ubt it wouldn't buy 2 packs or Ramen noodles, because he is only getting 25% of 26 cents. So he is only going to get 6.5 cents. Maybe she will be nice and give him 7 for it. But then she has to spend 37 cents for postage to send them somewhere. So really she would be losing money is she sold them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 If those are worth more than their face values, I have too many corroded pennies to sell off But honestly, I guess they have been in some acidic or alkaline enviroment. Nothing special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 If those are worth more than their face values, I have too many corroded pennies to sell off I have special BLACK pennies. Yup black.

Jacko23 Posted October 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Thats strange, I was told the pennie was worth $500.00 the nickel inside is what is showing, and it looks like chrome. These are not corroding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotten Rodney Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 That Quarter looks like some I've seen that have spent a little to much time on a tar road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotten Rodney Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 The Cent for 76 was not plated like 83 and after it was the same stuff all the way through. So the cent is either a Chemical dip or plated. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San_Miguel98 Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 I have no clue what happened to these poor coins. they seem to have been mis-minted the quarter seems to have been overbaked and has a large groove on the outer rim. the penny is missing most of its copper showing a silver interior. does anyone know anything about coins? pennies from that year were made of 95% copper and 5% zinc. the only way the "brown" would come off to show "silver" would be a chemical reaction or an extra plating of metal. both of these would happen outside of the mint, and therefore would not bring any premium in value. the quarter is corroded and has a groove cut into the rim. the composition of 1967 quarters is 75% copper, 25% nickel, with a center of 100% copper. the metals are clad together before being punched into coins, and there's no way the copper center can fall out. the missing copper rim would have to have been taken off by someone outside of the mint, and like the penny above, would not bring any premium in value. on the bright side, you can always sell the penny to the guy who thinks it's worth $500.

These are not corroding. Daydream... it doesn't matter even if it's corroded or plated, it's still a penny unless it's a completely different metal. My dad does all sorts of metal plating, from copper plating to platinum plating. Chrome plating is no exception. Why on a penny? Who knows, probably for fun. If that person is GUESSING it's worth 500 bucks, sell it to him. The general opinion here is here to stay, unless you can get a coin dealer to have a different say in it. Or if you want to, you can always try scambay and scam all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbycoin Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Can I have the contact info of the person who would pay $500 for ANY 76 cent? Also if anyone wants to pay more then $0.25 for a 67 quarter... I got those to These are not corroding. Ok, They may not be now... But they were Any one of us could recreate these coins VERY easily. Ask anyone who gets their streets salted... These are commonly salted road coins. -Bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conder101 Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 The cent has been plated after it left the mint. No value above face value. (There is a lot of bad information on that forum thread you linked dealing with the composition of the cent.) The quarter has been soaked in a mild acid such as vinegar for an extended period. The acid attacks the copper core more readily than it does the coppernickel outer layers and that is what caused the groove around the edge.
