Pshann Valued Member Australia 119 Posts	Posted 06/13/2019 08:37 am I have checked the edge and we still have a silver look Absolutely no copper or bronze look But it has an overall steel look rather than silver As it has no magnetic attraction (and I used a huge magnet) the look Has me still gobsmacked compared to the other pennies - same era Someone's been clever Report this Post to the Staff
Pshann Valued Member Australia 119 Posts	Posted 06/13/2019 08:52 am Hi all Maybe stupid question! Could it be lead? That's a silver looking material that's non magnetic ? There's something very diff with this coin - it looks steel Report this Post to the Staff

joecoin Pillar of the Community United States 789 Posts	Posted 06/13/2019 11:26 am If it's the same diameter and thickness as other 1906 pennies, it would weigh a lot more if it were lead. See that little ding on the edge above and to the left of Britannia's head? Take a q-tip with some soapy water on it and see if you can clean that area. It may show what's underneath if it was plated before it was dinged. Report this Post to the Staff
