Try to pick it up with a magnet.
Either pole of a magnet can attract steel.
it wouldn't be magnet to a aluminum nail because the aluminum is not a way of magnet and a steel nail would because steel is a way of magnet.
yes
It could stick to nails,nickles and brakes.
The best way to find out if it is real, simply use a magnet. It will cling to the magnet if it is a real steel penny.
no,it can not be picked by a magnet because it is not made of iron, steel, nickel ,& copper
I have a 1977 penny that can be picked up with a magnet and it is bright gold in color. The detail in the coin is much more detailed than that in a brand new penny. Definition is very, very high.
That's the 1943 steel cent, which is fairly common. In average condition, it's worth about 10 cents.
No. No genuine US coin other than the 1943 steel penny will stick to a magnet. If you have a US coin that sticks to a magnet other than the steel penny, it is a counterfeit.
They were steel, not silver.
Try the magnet test, if it sticks to it, it's steel.
The 1943 steel penny.
Test it with a magnet. 1943 steel cents are magnetic. 1944 copper cents are not.
1943 was the ONLY year Lincoln cents were struck on steel planchets. Check it with a magnet, if it is steel it's not a US coin.
Will it stick to a magnet? If not, it is not steel. There are no genuine 1972 steel cents. 1943 only.
Neither the original copper or the newer version copper-zinc penny is magnetic. The 1943 steel penny was the only penny effected by a magnet.
