<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gimpy, post: 469410, member: 16347&quot;]<b>Steel/Copper Wheat penny</b></p><p><br /></p><p>I was was wondering.&nbsp; Does anyone know any thing about old steel pennies that are steel and copper mix.&nbsp; Have not be able to find much in for on this subject.&nbsp; I&#039;ve only came across a few but they are the old steel zinc pennies, but there are copper swirls all through out the coin.&nbsp; One story I&#039;ve been told is that the melting pots in WWII were never cleaned when they poured the steel to make the sheets that would eventually be made in to the blank coins before they were stamped by the mint.&nbsp; Sort of weird right!&nbsp; Seeing how there was a copper shortage.&nbsp; That or some one just got lazy.&nbsp; Well any way thats about as far as I&#039;ve got on research.&nbsp; Any thoughts.</p><p><br /></p><p>Gimpy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
