Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 09/10/2023 9:13 pm @bel, can you please let us know if this cent is attracted to a strong magnet? That might help us determine the specific metal used to plate this cent. Thx.

Believe7 Pillar of the Community United States 701 Posts	Posted 09/10/2023 10:23 pm Thank you guys...and no, it does not attract to magnet. I have also posted a 1958D, but this one is only copper on the reverse. Thanks again. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/11/2023 06:18 am I am thinking mercury rubbed because if plated it might weigh more than 3.0 grams. Mercury rubbed would add little if any weight. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
