Kiwibird New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 04/18/2020 12:33 am I found this old penny in a jar of coins. It is not magnetic. The date reads 1945. I cannot make out any discernable features. I think it is either a Counterfeit or a misprint. What do you think? :-) * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Nickel, zinc and even mercury among them. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff
