I thought steel production started in 2006 but see I am mistaken. As this is my only 2003 cent I have a question: Are all 2003 steel? Some? Just RCM? Help? --gary Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9903 Posts	Posted 01/13/2010 7:48 pm The "p" mark is not a mint mark it denotes plated steel. No "p" means plated zinc There are exceptions to this,they are uncommon,and have been discussed recently here on this forum. https://goccf.com/t/52582 Edited by DBM 01/13/2010 8:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff

EDIT: While I'm here I might as well ask - all the RCM marked coins are steel plated, correct? No RCM stamped copper/zinc/tin floating around that are not some strange error coins? --gary Edited by GFR3 01/13/2010 8:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff
