brexxz1..your talking about 1/10 of a gram difference between steel and zinc, I wouldn't count on that. BUT even with the low grade scan of the coin I do believe there might be 3 tiny gas bubbles on the reverse..  Can't wait to see how much it goes for.  |

Pennyman, the demagnetizers you and cdcoinman link to do not change the crystaline structure of steel so that it will no longer be attracted to a magnet, they are used to stop steel from acting as a magnet, the steel still retains its ferromagnetic properties and will still be attracted to a magnet and can be made again to act as a magnet..
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

Any chance this one will go for 20,000.00?

Okay got it so for example if my screwdriver becomes magnetic then you can demagnetize it back to normal is this correct?
I'll delete the other post

If someone had 20k for a 2005 they should have another 20k plus for this one.

> Will you have a magnet in your other hand?
That's the issue with these off-alloy errors. There's nothing to see.

In 2003 designation was given to the "P" for minted magnetic pennies.

Yes. The P mark indicates it is supposed to be plated steel.

There is two more of these cents in the upcoming Canadian Coin and Currency auction.

A little birdie at Coin Expo told me that someone was sitting on about 50 or so 2005P non-magnetic coin sets.... I am sure glad I did not drop $20K to acquire one...
(as an aside: I just picked up a nice red 1954 NSF ICCS PL-66 this past weekend - a much better purchase, in my opinion)

hey there, maddog yes when there is a p under the queen it should state that it is copper plated steel, steel is magnetic and it is in the core of the coin. sometimes zinc planchets made it way into the die.
