I know that the Steel pennies weren't made in this year but I have a 1975 Silver Penny. I am almost 100% certain that it isn't mercury coated. It isn't greasy like those, also when it's dropped on metal it makes a very loud *ting* noise. When I dropped a normal copper penny it sounded like a stiff thud and didn't bounce much. This penny is also VERY thick, about as thick as a Nickel. It also feels different then normal penny. Anyone ever heard of one of these? I can post pics if you need to see them.   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk? Coin Talk Code of Honor 1.
