Does a real 1943 copper penny stick to a magnet?

No, a real 1943 copper penny does not stick to a magnet because 1943 pennies were made of zinc-coated steel and not copper due to the shortage of copper during World War II.


Why will the real 1943 penny stick to amagnet but a real 1944 penny will not?

1943 cents were made of steel, a magnetic metal, to conserve copper for the war effort. Other pennies are made of bronze or copper-plated zinc depending on their dates. Neither bronze nor zinc are susceptible to a magnet.


Is it rare to have a wheat penny half the thickness of a real penny?

It is highly unlikely for a wheat penny to be half the thickness of a regular penny. It is possible that the coin may be worn down due to circulation, but a significant difference in thickness may indicate a counterfeit or altered coin.


How do you tell if a 1943 steel penny is real or fake?

To determine if a 1943 steel penny is real or fake, you can use a magnet. Steel pennies are magnetic, so if the penny is attracted to the magnet, it is likely authentic. Additionally, you can examine the weight and appearance of the coin compared to known authentic examples. If you are still unsure, consider taking the penny to a professional coin dealer or reputable appraiser for authentication.


What is the value of 1979 penny that is gold tinted looks real and sticks to a magnet?

A normal 1979 penny will not stick to a magnet -- it's made almost entirely of copper -- a non-magnetic material. So for your coin to stick to a magnet, it has to either be fake, or plated with some kind of magnetic material. In either case, it's value would only be as a novelty item -- perhaps a couple dollars at best.
