    Hey I snagged this a few days ago for $3 and I just said who cares if its colored with crayon if it could be a steel planchet but like I assumed it is not and it was also actually said to be a error coin at a live auction I assume because of the cut but I do not know.. it is a 1942 wheat cent.. the outer rim shows copper and it has the weight of a normal copper cent but it does not look to be plated by the average Joe and looks more like it was meant to be there.. I am just looking for info on how this happens and what it is called because I know I have heard of it and seen pictures of them but I cant find my old source so while I look further if any knows what I am talking about or can tell me what the error is on this coin if any feel free to elaborate on this for me and any future finds like this.
