Penny From Heaven

Stranger things have happened. From WikiPedia:

"In the February 20, 2001, edition of Numismatic News, Alan Herbert reported the existence of an aluminium cent. It was attributed to US Capitol Police Officer Albert Toven who found the coin dropped by an unnamed US Congressman on the floor of the Rayburn Office Building. When the officer attempted to return the coin to the congressman, thinking it was a dime, the congressman told him to keep it.[1][13] This example was graded and certified by the Independent Coin Grading Company as "About Uncirculated-58" in 2005, but later certified Mint State 62 two months later by Professional Coin Grading Service"

I know this is an older thread, but in the end you guys were right. No pic, and just some bs. I understand that everyone deserves respect, but that respect can be lost. I'm also a member of other non-coin related forums and these types of posts pop up frequently. They probably did have an aluminum like 1974 penny and truly believed it to be real, despite all of the contrary evidence. I was too confused by the OP's initial post as I did not understand what they were trying to convey. In the end. some people will believe what they want to believe no matter what. We see this all the time with prices on certain coins, or people thinking that just b/c they have an old coin, it's worth a ton of money.
