I think I found a counterfeit penny, any ideas?
I was looking through my grandmothers penny tin (She’s saving up money for the poor) because she wanted me to go through it and look to see if there are any rare coins. I was looking through the tin, when I found a penny that appeared to be gold. The penny is a 1969-D. Any ideas?

I don’t think it’s a counterfeit.
There used to be a solution to dip metallic items in for what was called gold-plating but, that was false advertising in that gold plating has to have a min. width of gold coating.
The product was actually a gold "wash." It was good for cheap jewelery that was losing it coating & looking bad. It was a way to revitalize costume jewelry. But the add showed the power by dipping coins into solution. I bought it. I through a few pennies I had from the late 1800′s just so that they’d stand out from the 20th century pennies.
The solution cost a lot because there was gold in it (however minimal) but it only did about 3 coins then coats kept getting thin enough to see real metal underneath.
I fell for that scam. They give you 4oz. of liquid & you think you can treat anything as long as still have solution, but it was the tiny amount of gold particles that were quickly used up as the chemical reaction made it adhere to metal.
I’m sure they charged 20x’s the amount of gold actually in the product.
It was off the market real quick.
OR it could have been taken to an old fair where they used to have a booth to turn your things into gold! Same principle but better quality. You’d pay $5-$10 or so per piece. As a kid, it was fun to have a gold quarter even if it cost you $5.
I don’t believe that it is real gold. You can alter the properties chemically to make it appear gold however, it really is copper and probably worth no more than just 1 cent. Im sorry.
Otherwise, you should take it to someone who deals specifically with coins and have them check it out to see if it’s real or not. If it is, I would be surprised and begin looking for some myself.
It is possible to change copper to many different colors. I would follow the advice in this link as they probably know more than I do.
