<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 104713, member: 4552&quot;]I read somewhere that the Mint was experimenting with Aluminum or Zinc pennies back about then. There was one on one of these forums certified as the real thing. They were all supposed to be distroyed since they were inteded for just test purposes but just as there was not supposed to be 1943 Copper Cents, something always happens. I thought I printed out that article but can&#039;t find it now. Must be old age. You may want to take the chance on having it certified by someone like PCGS. As to the blanks, they are really poping up a lot lately. I just wonder if a few indiviuals I used to know are back at thier old tricks. They worked in a factory that made washers, bolts, nuts, etc. They would every once in a while make blanks that are the same size as coins. Back in the days of pay phones everywhere, they would use them for calls, vending machines, etc. However, yours look like something a little more professional, not that our Mint is a place full of professionals.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
