    This cent will hold 7 other cents between it and a fairly strong magnet. Error or PMD?

    Yes, really. I brought this before the forum about a month and a half ago, but did not have pictures. Just looking for a definitive answer to put it to rest.

    The obverse is a 1941 cent. The reverse is a 1943 cent. Can you see how they are sandwiched together and are different colors?

    Yes, I saw that, but it is uneven and such precision work.

    I think that is very plausible if not exact.

    You've been watching too much of Mythbusters.

    Myth busted! This was not minted on a 10 centavo piece headed to Vietnam. It is a very real possibility that someone mated two sides of two different cents together to create a magnetic 1941 cent. MagnifiCENT work if I say so myself.
