Blinker New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 08/15/2024 01:14 am I'm in possession of a 1986 D penny that looks amazing. Almost looks like it's struck on nickel. The details: Penny sticks to a magnet although it's a weak bond. Penny weighs 2.647grams Penny reflects light oddly. Reflection does not "wheel" around the central axis. More of a mirrored effect. I figure it's a fake but I don't what to toss a valuable error without getting better opinions then my own. Thank you.
