It is strange, mine is like the color of pewter/silver. I probably should send it in and unravel this little mystery.

Thank You, I will see what I can find out by following your advice. Thanks again

It was my husbands mothers, and I have had it for well over a decade now.. I have researched it, but, just can't figure it lol. I wish it was one of those alum pennies (don't we all wish we had one of those) I think from the comments it seems like the bronze clad steel penny. It is likely his mother had it for many years before she passed, she had it hidden away in a container where no one could find it (but we did) =)

I believe it is all over it, but, I don't know how to really test that theory to know for sure.

thank you, I am going to post a video (or a link to a youtube if I can't post videos on here) of it sticking to the magnet.

It gets a very strong attraction. I will get a video of it sticking to a magnet in a couple hours. Thank You for helping me.

Hi, thanks for the replies. Sorry I wasn't back sooner. I only have a food scale, it is digital, it says it weighs 3 grams. As far as sticking to it, I will have to retry it to the magnet. Here is a photo of the back of it and on top of each other, and next to each other. It was getting a clear photo close up with them on top of each other. Sorry if it is too blurry
