Sir_Ricardo New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 11/12/2018 10:56 pm Greetings everyone - I've got this penny...it is dated 1975, and is magnetic. It definitely sticks to a magnet. It's also got a hole in it; probably to hang from a pendant? In any case, it looks almost silver, quite 'stainless-steel' like. What do you think? The first photo shows the coin adhering to a magnet. thanks Ricardo = Report this Post to the Staff
