<p>[QUOTE="silentnviolent, post: 395501, member: 8797"]Well, aside from just wanting to know once and for all about it, I read in a recent issue of Numismatic News about an older couple going through their unsearched wheats with a magnet and a 1920 (I think) stuck. After sending it in it was revealed that a chunk of iron big enough to raise the cent with a magnet was embedded in the planchet at the mint. This article is enough to keep my interest in the possibility that it may be authentic. Maybe it's grasping at straws but.... Anyway, my description wasn't good enough about how it stands on edge. there are no flat parts. My girlfriend and I roll the thing across the table to one another while reading and responding to this thread. One side just has a greater attraction... I wish I could better demonstrate. -Andy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
