Question
i have a 1955 lincoln wheat cent that was struck on a steel planchet. it look's exactly as a 1943 steel penny but it is dated 1955. it has the weight of a steel penny and the common discoloration many steel cents get over the years but otherwise it has seperated cheek and jawbone and full wheat ears. it is an extremely interesting coin. i cannot find any information concerning this coin and i am trying to find someone to certify it but don't know where to look. any help you could give me in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Tom,
First off, is it attracted to a magnet like a 1943 cent? If not, it isn't steel.
If it is, You could send it to me for authentification and I will inturn have it certified if you so like.
Let me know.
Regards
