Yeah, if you heat it on a hot plate, it'll turn to "gold"

 

...that doesn't look like a penny... Seriously, an authentic clip would be one of three things 1) curved clip where the clipped area would match another nickel placed against it 2) a straight clip or 3) a ragged clip. Yours is a mutilated coin.

 

Instead of me posting photos of what I think I have, I'll ask first. Are steel or zinc coated 1943 pennies worth anything? I have about 100. About 11 of them are very bright and silver, and most are dark pewter looking and some with rust.

 

Yes, the kids back then seemed to have no problem getting hold of what we called "quick silver". You saw a lot of 50's and earlier pennies with mercury on them.

 

The worn or rusty ones aren't worth much, but if the shiny ones are XF, AU or U, they are worth a couple of bucks each.

 

Thanks

 

This wasn't the penny, I first posted. Thank you

 

If you want to collect coins and understand them better you need to truly invest in a gram scale.

 

There aren't any courses near the cell block in question

 

The bright shiny ones are probably reprocessed.

 

Tennis courts?

 

I will do that Boss. Thanks

 

Sorry, no.

 

Pool?

 

No. Non-negotiable.
It's gonna be rough for you and your kids. This is no Mar-A-Lago
