Silver penny?

[AmericanGirl29]

Hey everyone. I’m new to this site and I was wondering if anyone could tell me more about my 1998 “D” silver plated penny?

I can’t find to much about these.
Thank you in advance!

Someone had fun with chemistry and boiled it in zinc chloride and zinc powder.

Could you tell me more please? Is there many of these? It this a genuine error or just someone experimenting? Thank you for your response

So it’s not a genuine error hey? Do you know why it would rub off?

thought I saw that in the photo. It’s just a bonding of a thin layer of zinc to the outside of a copper penny. Wouldn’t take much to wear that off.

It is very valuable penny to hold it

Pennies today are zinc with a copper coating. Most likely there was a failure in giving it the copper coat. Valuable? Maybe more than a penny, but I wouldn't give 2 cents for it.
