I hope you're able and willing soon because I would love to know one way or the other . . .

 

I am slightly confused. I looked back to your previous post about this (I think) and am not sure of what you have. I see a 1961 cent that has a silver color, except when you have pictures of a cent stuck to a magnet, it looks copper. Are all the pictures the same coin?

 

It's not a rare Cent

 

Where can we find this information?
I have never heard of it or find any information on the web.

 

Yes it is the same coin sir,I can sit here all day and take 100 pictures of the coin and it will look different in just about every picture color wise

 

I'm sure this was said in the previous post, but it looks like the coin was plated outside the mint. It's a simple High School Chem Lab experiment. I have a couple I got in change years ago and there are many, many posted here on coin talk. Nickel plating is relatively simple, and nickel is also magnetic.

Take a closer look at the annual report. I found this after a quick Google search and download from the Newman Portal. See footnote 5 on page 169.

Hope this helps

 

I see nowhere in these reports stating anything about 1960's Cents made of Zinc coated Steel planchets.

 

In case anyone misses the Title, it says WITHDRAWN from Circulation

 

@Oldhoopster
I don't understand anything. So what is this report stating? That in these years the 1943 Steel Cents were withdrawn?

 

@paddyman98 I skimmed the report earlier and posted a snip it from one table and nyatii posted another table. My post shows part of a table that shows how many coins were minted. There is a line item for zinc played steel but it shows none were minted and the footnote (what I wanted to emphasize) says none had been made size 1943.

The table nyatii posted looks like it lists the number of steel cents the mint withdrew during the various fiscal years

The OP mentioned the mint report and steel cents. I can see where the tables could could cause some confusion

 

I was confused as well, but if you download the entire report, and check out hoopster's recommendation, I believe it'll make more sense. Of course it also seems to place the final nail into the coffin of the OP's assertion, no matter how remote, that this could potentially be a worthwhile submission.

 

Yes, In knew it showed that they were withdrawn. It also showed what was still out there as of the date of the publication. I only posted it as general info to see what happened.

 

Thank you sir if you would look on page 50 and 51 the annual report 1962 you will see information about one cent coin that is zinc coated steel weighs 3.0 and the other weighed 3.5 Sir I have tried for six months to defraud this coin I cannot do it, I have tried everything to prove to myself that this coin is not real and I cannot do it ,I hate to admit this because I probably ruin my coin but I have sanded around the rim of the coin to try to see if it's copper underneath it not copper it is steel that is why i have not sent it to be authenticated because I know they will say that I altered the coin I'm about to go get my coin and take a picture of the rime so you can see it,,ty

 

Pages 50-51

 

Better to defraud a coin than a person, I suppose....

Seriously though, Occam's razor should be taken into consideration, sir. I simply see no reasonably suggestive evidence that your coin could possibly be what you hope, especially when so many have been altered to look just like yours does. Grinding more off of it, while most certainly inconsequential, isn't likely to change anything.

 

Here's a picture of the rime of the coin

 

If you will take a look at the directors annual report 1962 pages 50 and 51 you will see zinc coated steel one cent I want to thank everyone for everyone for your help
