When I read someone wrote a science experiment - from who? My husband had this a little boy in grade school, he kept in his milk box. He thought it was neat. I did take it to the coin shop, who is authorized to look at the coin (an official shop), he offered to sell it for me, and was a very kind man. My intention was to see if I should have it sent in and he said, Definitely. So, its on its way now.

The man in the coin shop said it was a real penny, and could be used in any monetary way. He, like me, had no idea why it was not made like the others of the time. I will keep everyone posted.
