You can also weigh it as the steelies weigh differently (copper 3.11 grams vs. steelies at 2.7 grams) I agree someone probably marked it up to look for the zinc coating underneath, though it wasn&#039;t a smart way to go about it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Someone brought me a 1944 steel cent to check that was found at an estate sale...and he actually used a table saw to nick it to check it himself! You could see the copper core, but imagine if it were genuine? The things people do to self-verify a potentially valuable item is limitless in its absurdity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
