DP68 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 01/20/2017 12:06 pm Hey yall, first post, love the site... This cent is silver in color. Does not attract to a magnet. And weighs 3 grams (though I do not know the exact weight as this old scale doesn't show decimals)... Worth anything? Thank you !! * Edited by Staff - Uploaded images here. * Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 01/21/2017 11:09 pm Quote: do what now? There are 1943 bronze cents worth 6 figures. I'm just saying somebody tried to create a similar reversed rarity with a "steel" 1942. Another idea is that there are a bazillion re-plated 1943 cents, and maybe a 1942 snuck into a batch a dealer was plating. Edited by kbbpll 01/21/2017 11:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff
DP68 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 01/22/2017 6:07 pm Ah...ok, I see... Well, I was sorta jazzed for a bit. When I search for 1942 cent with multiple different keywords attached (silver, plated, non-magnetic)...there really isn't much info out there. In my silly head, that meant it is SO rare even the internet doesn't know much about it. lol. But really...there isn't much info. You get maybe 1 page of the 1942 info (google) then it's 100 pages of the 1943. That is why, I thought, it's rare, to be honest. But thanks again !! Report this Post to the Staff
