<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Circus, post: 2802140, member: 51195&quot;]There are 100&#039;s of patina methods and recipes for turning metals a different colors not to mention that assorted color rusts can be artificially induced. you can google patinas for steel or any other metals and get 1,00&#039;s of hits. If it sticks to a magnet it is coated with a plating,chemical or some other form of surface manipulation. Either heat or cold applications. </p><p>As a rule if the bronze is magnetic enough to clink to a average magnet the iron in it is contamination If it was added intentionally it was added to stretch out the bronze material to cheapen the item.</p><p>There is a nickel bronze that is used for bearing type surfaces which is slightly magnetic. As been stated there is no such thing as a bronze steel 1943 penny. And there is still no photos said penny.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
