<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kentucky, post: 24555317, member: 33176&quot;]Welcome to CT.&nbsp; The 1943 cent or penny has been one of the most popular coins ever for people to &quot;mess around&quot; with.&nbsp; The original coin was made from blanks (planchets) punched from sheets of zinc clad iron (or steel), so the outside of the front and back was zinc colored but the cent was attracted to a magnet.&nbsp; There are a few known 1943 cents that were struck in copper (bronze) and countless ones that were copper plated.&nbsp; It&#039;s hard to tell what was done to yours, but it most likely was done outside of the mint.&nbsp; Interesting curiosity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
