zombies sometimes never die, whether they are plated or not.
At least @Charlie Carroll posted a pic in an existing thread ...

 

What about the 1976 bicentennial quarter that is 40% silver is it clad or did they mice the silver and copper together

 

Clad.

80%/20% silver/copper outer layer bonded to a 20.9%/79.1% Ag/Cu core.

It’s wierd that all these we are talking about them all being the same year 1962 d u would think that they would be different years even if someone got a new role from the bank to do the experiment people have pennies and I just don’t see someone taking a special trip to the bank and if that’s so they would have done it back in 62

 

Why not.. A science lab teacher picked up the roll back in 1962 and created 50 of the Cents in question.. Over the years the Cents were dispersed.. It is highly possible!

Less possible is 1962 Cents struck on steel planchets.

 

Sputnik startled the US Science Educators and the Military,, who in 1957 found themselves listening to beeps from space that the ( considered less science sophisticated) Russians put up, reacted strongly to catch up and surpass the Russians before they could put weapons in space. Money and resources came to almost every high school in the US, for sciences that could be applied to space science. Chemistry was one such science course, which in my high school originally had seemed like cooking class, became more intense. By the early 60s, this experiment was published in most high school and even middle schools labs as it showed visually how chemical reactions could occur. Reactants were mostly safe , and the student could take the silver colored and gold colored cents home to amaze their families. Very popular, and the reactions worked best with new clean cents, which the banks then got in 5000 coin bags and were happy to supply for science. During my college classes , the beginning chem lab manual had this also. When I started teaching as a college Chemistry teacher, we made hundreds of cents ( all 1960 era) which were taken home and eventually ended up in the change bucket or spent. Now the 100% copper shell cent works better than the older bronze. Jim

 

There are different years. There are tons of them from 1957.
And many other years as well.
I have a 1960 that is gold plated, and looks nicer than this photo.

 

If you search the archives in CT you'll find numerous different dates that have been plated. I have a 57-D wheat cent as well as a couple early Lincoln Memorial cents that I got many years ago.

 

Why are they all the same date u would have to have a new bank roll or if everyone pulled a penny from there pocket to do there experiments they would be different dates but there all 1962-d that’s what don’t make sense if they were like u said they would have to got a bank role that year

 

It’s just odd so many people got the same year they must have played quite a few or u would think they would have different years I’ve never seen one on eBay Cept the war cent of any year

 

Just do a search on the forum, there will be many different years of plated cents. You will also find posts where people wonder why they are all 1956. Someone posted about a 1962 d, other people who had the same year naturally posted on the same thread, they are definitely no more common than any other year of plated cent.

 

@Charlie Carroll
Ok.. Listen carfully
If you don't agree with anything we all just stated to you then send your Cent to a major coin grading company. Ask them to attribute the coin for you as a Mint Error.
Also.. Remember to get back to us with the results!
Google NGC and PCGS for more information.

Peace

 

I have a 1962 no mint magnetic steel. Does anyone know how much it is worth?

 

YES! 1 Cent

Did you read any of the responses on this thread at all?
It is plated.
Intentionally done outside of the Mint.
Altered with no extra premium

Dios mio dame paciencia!

 

Someone, after your cent left the mint, dipped it into a liquefied metal. That metal hardened on your coin and that is why your coin looks like it does.

As everyone here has stated, it is not a mint error and is not worth more than one cent.

 

This morning there have been 2 different posts concerning magnetic Cents.. So weird! And annoying!
Here is the other https://www.cointalk.com/threads/1962-no-mint-stainless-magnetic-penny.344779/#post-3656629

 

Sometimes I think people who are not knowledgeable about coins, get something they haven't seen before, put it into Google and a thread from this site pops up.
They sign up and ask their questions.

 

That is correct. When I google something coin related I get sent to my own thread!
