1946 steel penny

Is there a documented steel penny???? I couldnt find anything online about one but that doesnt mean there isnt one known out there. No, I dont have one but am trying to find out.

No

 

The 1943 cents are made of steel.

 

I think he means 1946. He searched online

 

OK, I didn't understand the question.

 

Yes. 1946. Im sorry. I know all bout 43 and the rare 44. Ive seen multiple people pop up here with various years stating they are steel but all end up being plated, fakes etc.

Someone told me they had a 1946 steel penny. Quite frankly, I dont believe it. Thought Id check here since I cant find anything online about any 46 steelie.

 

OMG, I see now that my question could be interpreted as BEYOND dumb. I typed the title in but didnt mention the year in the in the thread lol. My bad.

 

I’d be shopping for a private island if I had a 46 steelie

 

Sounds like BS is coming from this persons ears. Thanks guys.

 

I've only heard of a few silver quarter planchets making it to 1967. Possible for a steel planchet to make it to 1946...perhaps. Likelihood is probably next to nil.

 

Stuff happens. No problem.

 

Most likely plated.. We have many threads of people claiming they have cents from different years made of steel. All have turned out to be plated.

 

I have this 1910 that looks plated but I can't tell.

 

Cut it in half and check out the center!

 

I think I will put it to the magnet test. I'm surprised that I haven't yet. If that doesn't work I will bury it on Long Island.

 

Bury it on Coney Island and @paddyman98 can excavate it in the spring.

 

Bury it near the Wonder Wheel!

 

Nice find Paddy. Someones gonna be upset when they notice that thing isnt in their pocket anymore! Probably some kid took it from grandpas stash to go have fun.

 

Nice. Last time I found one of those in the dirt it was in the early 50's out by our cistern.
