<p>[QUOTE=&quot;girldly, post: 3089928, member: 74386&quot;]I went through this years ago.&nbsp; PCGS sent our 1972 D Penny, nickel color, to a specialist to determine its alloys.&nbsp; The results were 96 percent nickel, plus other various 4 percent alloys.&nbsp; They said it was Counterfeit.&nbsp; (PCGS).&nbsp; Like you, I received so many people telling me, Plated.&nbsp; Well, not true.&nbsp; What I discovered was the scientists were testing different alloys for the cent.&nbsp; The RED BOOK describes a counterfeit coin as one made for a person intentionally to make money on it (in my own words).&nbsp; That&#039;s the jest of it.&nbsp; It says nothing about a True US Cent in circulation, kept in my husbands milk box since grade school.&nbsp; No one at the Mint or Lab profited from this One Of A Kind Cent.&nbsp; If you send your coin in, make sure and ask for S &amp; L labs to determine the alloys.&nbsp; Otherwise, you will never know.&nbsp; It is a costly service.&nbsp; But, even tho the bosses who write the RED BOOK wont recognize this coin of ours as an ERROR, we will know the truth.&nbsp; I believe I posted the results after getting approval from the people who run Coin Talk.&nbsp; Very good people by the way.&nbsp; Best of luck to you.&nbsp; Girldly[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
