2006 Canadian Magnetic Penny

Are you sure it is magnetic, the weight is telling me it is zinc a steel one would weigh 2.35g.

If it is the magnetic one that is the one that is hard to find. Get it into a 2x2

The mint had been putting out two kinds of pennies - ones with a zinc-core that a magnet won't pick up, and ones with a steel core, that a magnet will pick up. Those 2006 magnetic coins were supposed to have a little logo on the flip side, right below the image of the Queen - either a P, or the brand-new Royal Canadian Mint crown/maple-leaf logo that's now on all coins. There'd been an error that year, and some pennies rolled out with no P, no logo which were rare. If you discover a 2006 magnetic, no P, no logo specimen in your penny jar, you might get $50 for it. But the real prize is for uncirculated coins - factory fresh, mint condition.

And on ebay, one of the uncirculated pennies recently sold for $500, uncertified. Ed's are certified, and he's going to sell them for $635. Article from 2013 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hami...00-1.1380742
