1943 steel wheat! Found today in a bank box,happy birthday!

I thought it would be cool to know it was in a sealed roll,but I was too curious.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it...

Magnetized iron filings can be used in science experiments. One such experiment puts a magnet on a sheet of paper, sprinkling the filings on the magnet to show the (invisible) lines of magnetic flux belonging to the magnet.

You used magnetized iron filings from a child's toy and sprinkled them over the roll of cents you got while CRH (coin roll hunting). The filings stuck to the side of the roll, indicating a steel core coin was inside. It could have been a Canadian cent but, instead, it turned out to be your posted 1943 steel cent.

An example of a great idea! (IMHO)

Yes! I have a small tray I just kinda set the roll in real quick,it takes an extra second,but when you see those little magnets on there it was worth it.

 

Happy Birthday!

 

Thank you,have a lucky day!

 

A new McGuyver trick, kudos!
