wert Rest in Peace 1988 Posts	Posted 03/22/2014 6:57 pm johnnysprawl.......to the forum...When you say the usual copper colouring are you referring to the normal colour of a penny, or is it a golden colour.? Report this Post to the Staff
johnnysprawl Pillar of the Community Canada 1622 Posts	Posted 03/22/2014 11:14 pm @john100. It's not magnetic. Dont know the weight...could find out but will take me awhile to find a good scale/balance. Plated...yes, that's what I thought too thanks Report this Post to the Staff
johnnysprawl Pillar of the Community Canada 1622 Posts	Posted 03/22/2014 11:15 pm Thanks Wert! I just meant that there is no copper coloring to it like a normal penny...looks as if it is plated... Report this Post to the Staff
