1975 D Penny 0

[Leandria]

I believe my 1975 D penny is magnetic and I know it shouldn't be. I don't have pictures just yet. I'd like more info as to why this could be.

  Does the coin stick to a magnet? If it doesn't, it isn't magnetic.

Welcome to the forum!

Clear, cropped photos could possibly help in the investigation of your claim. Are you supposing that it is magnetic, or have you put a strong magnet to it and coin sticks to the magnet? Also for this case, the weight of the coin in grams to two decimal places would also be helpful. 1975 D Lincoln Memorial Reverse cents were made of brass with a weight of 3.11 grams +/- .02 grams of mint tolerance. Hopefully you have some way to weigh the coin.

Hey thanks ! And it wasn't a strong magnet but I felt the pulling when I noticed. And it does weigh what copper weighs because I was weighing my coins as I was searching through rolls and separating the copper ones from the zinc...I haven't gotten ro take pictures yet. I will soon after I double check my findings...it's put away for the moment until I get free time to pull out my coins.
