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

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

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.
