Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 02/16/2017 12:26 pm No, not an error, PMD. Obverse looks like glue, from being mounted? Reverse appears to have some corrosion/corrosive material on the E of one. I also think I'm seeing a residual of a silver colored coating in the center. Most likely an attempt to make a fake 1943 steel cent if so. w/ fioti, might be solder if dull silver colored, solder is lead. Same on rev due to wear?

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 02/16/2017 5:01 pm To me -- it looks like it was used to replace a fuse. People used to do that if they didn't have a fuse. The cent would get over-heated and the house would burn down. Report this Post to the Staff
