<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pennylman1973, post: 3046585, member: 94559&quot;]First of all I have to admit I am a total novice when it comes to any kind of coin collecting. I found this cent while sorting through a couple thousand wheat cents i inherited.</p><p><br /></p><p>After no luck with google, I took it to a local coin dealer and he weighed it and ran it through some sort of device that determines what metal a coin is made of. It came back as 3 grams and showed no traces of copper. His machine its zinc, its not magnetic and he said it was to heavy to be aluminum. </p><p><br /></p><p>He said he couldn&#039;t find anything in his book about it and said that zinc wasn&#039;t used in cents around that time. He was stumped and even though i left with some answers, its still a mystery to me what exactly it is.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I hope my pics help even though they aren&#039;t the best. I put a regular penny next to it for comparison. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry if i left out any necessary info but I will answer any questions the best i can. </p><p><br /></p><p>Any info would be greatly appreciated![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
