Wondering

I was a sailor! Thank's for your responses

Lucky was the Seventh Son.

This question is for Frank. Were you one of the Italians from the story? And if you wonder who I am I was the guy who put in the palm tree's. Just so you know Lucky told me he hung out the aircraft and waited to drop but they pulled him back up and told him the war was over. He never talked to me about this thing. You don't owe me anything now Frank. I used what I knew and found the thing online for sale for 28 bucks. I just want to know are you one of the Italians or were you really an American? If by chance you see this message when I heard you talking about baseball I knew to scram! I just want to know is this the one? Just so you know Lucky didn't tell me. I eave's drop!

This cent weight's in at 1.88 grams I believe it is the weight of the brass disc in the schematic. I will try to bring up the image but you can get the image from the website. " https://books.google.com/books?id=WoS-BAAAQBAJ&pg=PA20&lpg=PA20&dq=1.8+gram+cyclonite&source=bl&ots=XPABUQrhmO&sig=ACfU3U0-INzcXcCzzOR2cwOYjBhOpTM4SA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjyk4bDu7vnAhUUIDQIHc8IDZoQ6AEwAnoECAkQAQ#v=onepage&q=1.8 gram cyclonite&f=false "

The images are going to be of the penny first. If more images can be posted I will try to cite them and post. I am wondering how would I be able to decipher if this really was one of the brass disc's from WW2 as listed on the website above, and can this be certified as such? Is their anyone that was in the 101st Air born Division that could tell me anything more about this particular one? With all the declassifying I thought maybe. Please forgive me if it's cradle to the grave. 

I can put the right one up later. I have a silver penny but it was probably redone after first mint because it's 3.75 grams. I would post a pic but you can check it out on the 1856 chat its on their. I figure if the topics silver it would be good here to but I reached the limit on pictures. I like those coted pennies but aren't they usually 1953's and magnetic? Is the 1945 magnetic to?

Sorry about that I hit the wrong image It talks about coins made after the date to support the collectors

A lot of cool things were made in 1942 the US was not in the thick of it yet but prior prep of making alot of things were being done check this page out. It gives an example of a coin being made. 

Thanks for asking I would love to. Here's the two pictures one on the scale and one enlarged.

So how did obtain the weight of 1.88 grams? A good test would be extensive but thorough an ETD a weight test and a die diagnostic! The question really is what is it? Is it a thin cent, was it a blasting cap and furthermore when was it used as one and did it blow up Hitler? 

ETD Test is what I respectfully Request but I ain't got no one to say yes yet! It's the metal cap it says but the test would help to proof my case. 

Stay Awesome! Enjoy the Hobby because this one they tell me is worth 3 cents. Other things I consider specimens and rare others have called a many of things. I have some 1953's that are like your 1945 and they are still collectible. Put it this way when you find the good stuff from change and coin roll hunt it's a thrill. I hope that site in the quotations help's you see what kind of rounds that got turned into pennies could be out their! Happy coin roll hunting and best of Luck too You.

I have a 1.88 gram 1945 it seems to be made of a cyclonite gaine from WW2, however I looked up the round on this "

What do you think of this one?

Check the V.D.B under the bust I'd say. 

Nice coin friend. I like the doubling on that S it shows. Good Luck coin roll hunting.  

Can hardly tell but the brassy back's a high leaf!

here's the reverses of those ones.

The reason I ask is none of the 1856 flying eagles look a like the metal composition varies Copper or bronze or brassy colored and green. The silver odd 1857. 

This is an old picture I found it's what I go by is it altered or a fake from the old days? Or is it still a good image to go by when coin roll hunting?

Some of these were free so I expect the unexpected one I think is silver it's the pretty third one. Are any of these altered because obviously their were no silver ones for real but it does weight 3.75 grams so I think it's silver. All in fun I don't want to lose regardless of authenticity.

the 1856 has a high leaf reverse 

Which ones of these are altered I'd like to know?
