thatcanuckyguy Valued Member Canada 166 Posts	Posted 03/07/2011 9:44 pm Neat. Was it a US 2006 penny? I've seen a lot of pennies lol and this is the first in that gold tone I've encountered and I have lots of 2006 but no non-mark magnetic...yet :) Report this Post to the Staff
Ugly Pillar of the Community Canada 1733 Posts	Posted 03/07/2011 9:52 pm This can be because: the penny got hot or more common is that it's a plating error with the nickel intermediate (barrier) layer not present at all or too weak to prevent the copper from being discoloured by the steel. If it's a zinc cent it probably got hot. Report this Post to the Staff
thatcanuckyguy Valued Member Canada 166 Posts	Posted 03/07/2011 10:01 pm It is a marked magnetic so I am guessing steel core and plated? Report this Post to the Staff
Meldude Valued Member Canada 162 Posts	Posted 03/07/2011 10:24 pm 2006 ML can be both mag or non mag. I have seen many of these, they are heated on a stove to change the copper into brass. Report this Post to the Staff
