coinhunter9 New Member 32 Posts	Posted 05/15/2013 3:37 pm I found this 1945 Wheat cent and dropped it down and it did not make the sound a Wheat cent should, instead it sounded like a zinc cent. It looks like a normal 1945 Wheat cent. My question is: is this a counterfeit coin? Report this Post to the Staff
