<p>[QUOTE=&quot;10gary22, post: 953054, member: 23626&quot;]Try testing it with a magnet. If it sticks, then it&#039;s steel. If not, then it&#039;s probably plated. In the 50&#039;s &amp; 60&#039;s nearly every high school offered a variety of shop classes. A lot of auto shop and machine shop classes had chroming tanks, so kids used to plate everything. Silver Cents were considered cool ! I will try to locate 1 or 2 around here and post a pic this week ?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You can try taping a pencil across a ruler at mid point and making a see saw balance. If the cent weighs less than another copper (1981 or earlier) then I could be on a dime planchet. But that would be extremely rare.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
