what coin? i see nothing!

 

I don't have a picture right now

 

Then I'll just guess...worth 1 cent.

Probably a plated cent.

 

It sticks to the magnet though it's Steel it's not zinc

 

You get what you pay for...my guess for free. Now, tell me how a steel cent was made in 1993, in Denver.

 

I don't know how it could be real. if you could get pictures maybe we could identify it.

 

Okay I'll send a picture later when I get home that's why I got on this forum I don't understand it myself

 

ok thanks.

 

A photo plus a weight in grams is needed. If indeed steel it would likely be a Mint employee contrivance.

 

What is that mean

 

If it is a real 1993 D cent it should weigh 2.5 grams.

 

You know I always thought it was one of those ones that had the copper coating wore off it but I freaked out when it's stuck to the magnet last night I hope it's worth something

 

Not real

 

Before you get too excited, plated cents often stick to a magnet because nickel is used in the plating.

 

Why is it that some people think the coin will run away before they have a chance to post photos of it?

I'm not excited I'm just curious

 

That's like saying this is real:

 

Not sure why I'm commenting on this thread other than I hope to see some shenanigans

 

I'll post up the pictures in an hour or two I tried Googling it and didn't get any answers so I figured that asked some people in this form I'll get the pictures as soon as I can and I appreciate any input I have no idea I'm just curious I'm sorry I don't have the picture now I will soon
