scotty11 Pillar of the Community United States 1042 Posts	Posted 11/23/2013 11:31 pm I found this one in a 1000 count bag of wheats from my local dealer. My best guess is that they thought it was simply a "run-of-the-mill" steel cent. It's lacking any mint luster. Using my loupe, I can't find any evidence of copper. The 43 steel cent was pulled from the same bag. Report this Post to the Staff
