<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numismania, post: 2151736, member: 28971&quot;]I don&#039;t know if I should ask the OP, or the membership, but is the OP intimating he has a &#039;43 copper &#039;penny&#039;, AND a &#039;44 steel &#039;penny&#039;????&nbsp; And, if the &#039;pennies ARE clad....I&#039;d assume he got the &#039;pennies&#039; from the same guy he got that &#039;67 &#039;silver or aluminum&#039; Washington quarter from. </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s too bad someone damage the coin too, and after doing a little looking, then blowing the pitchure up, I CAN see bend a little!&nbsp; But, with being bend, now you can&#039;t even us it in a Coke machine.&nbsp; But, if your not really sure if it not really silver OR aluminum, one option you have is is to send in to PCGS or NGC for a gravity test.&nbsp; This test one best left to the pro&#039;s. </p><p><br /></p><p>For some reason, the results you get from flipping it in the air, at home, doesn&#039;t produce the results as when they perform the gravity test at PCGS or NGC.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know what they do different, but the coin seems to stay in the air a little longer when they do it, getting more exact results.&nbsp; But, as you imagine, it not cheap.&nbsp; I seen pitchures of that room.....6, maybe 7 guys flipping coins in the air, measuring how long it takes to hit the ground...... BOY, what a easy gig...must be good money!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, speaking of money, that &#039;67 Washington not worth $ 80....not in 15 year old money, or today money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
