Agree with Cutler it's most likely plated. How would any steel planchets find their way to the coining in 1993? In 1944 there were some leftover 1943 steel planchets that were struck and have a 1944 date. Now if your 1993 was copper, that would be good.
You know check my pictures out I don't understand anything about coins you tell me this thing picks up right on a weak magnet
Okay do you really think it's plated it doesn't seem like it's plated why would it stick to a magnet a weak one at that At first they had a rare earth magnet which is super strong and I said to myself that's funny But then I took a weak magnet and it picks it right up
Ferromagnetic metal will stick to a magnet. Your coin was plated with metal that sticks to a magnet. Not sure I can simplify that answer any more than that.
My post wasn't directed towards you, sir; my apologies for any confusion. Some folks here know very little about coins but just love to pretend that they do. Let me ask you this: how strongly is a paper clip attracted to this weak magnet?
Yeah I don't know anything about coins I mean if this thing was gold that's a no-brainer but I don't know what this is it's cool whatever it is
That was quick... haha. If the cent was steel one would expect the same eager attraction, and the fact it doesn't strongly suggests plating. That said, and I want to be very clear that this is a powerball-odds twice stretch here, the US mint has produced coins for other countries, but I have absolutely no idea if this is even a possibility with this date and mint. Perhaps @Conder101 could shed light on the subject, but in all likelihood it's nothing of value, unfortunately.
Yeah I never get lucky but I'm going to keep searching here I wonder where the hell this thing came from You know I put a 90 s penny side by side and I was looking at it and I'm not an expert by any means but boy you could fool me if it was a counterfeit
