Well I have had these Pennys passed down to me from my grandfather.30+years.So decided to go through my pennies too finally get a up-close look at them and what I seen that I never seen before out of the two 1943 pennies I have. The 1943 no mint mark Thats not posted always seem to be a normal steel Penny and it weighed 2.7 But this one showed here 1943's still weighs 2.9 grams it is Magnetic but not as strong pull as the other still sent I have. Well what appears to be Zinc still coating finish is wearing off and underneath that is showing a luster copper finish!Then under the copper it seems to be still again I'm not sure but steel underneath it??? I seen on a form that someone posted asking about this coin he didn't have it his self but he knew somebody well it turns out the question he is asking is the saying that I am but I have the example and that is could they have made a still that got copper coated and then again zinc still coated on top of that as a final finish? I have to go back to the posting to find out where the U.S. Mint had sent these five experimental cents or find the description to compare with what I'm finding on my coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
