Quote: The one for auction is actually an uncirculated 1974P cent that has been plated with Copper/Tin/Zinc to make it look just like the real 1974 aluminum cent. In a 2X2 holder it will fool most collectors because it is hard to feel the weight difference. A great gag at coin clubs and shows. Great gift for the coin collectors. The photo below is an actual aluminum cent from the Smithsonian.
