Question
i have a 1944 lincoln wheat penny that is a silver colour much like a dime. i checked with a magnet an it sticks to it. would there be any value to this item? it is in good shape, but the coating is slightly worn on one edge.
Thank you

Answer
Hi Brian,
I would have to inspect the coin.  If it is made of steel, it could be worth $10,000

If you would like to send it for inspection,
email me to let me know it is on the way.  Send it to
