basstrackerman Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 I want you guys to give me your opinion on this here's a couple of pictures I found this at the beach in the wet sand ringing up as iron on the legend. When I picked it up it looked like the size of a penny so I threw it in my pouch and saved it till I got home I cleaned it up and they're silver coloring on the coin , I thought well maybe it's silver and it's just really destroyed from the saltwater. But then I stuff a magnet to it and it stuck The only other thing that I can think of it being is the 1943 steel penny. I have a few of them so I compared the size and what's left of it looks just like it but why would it be silver in color after the saltwater got a hold of it for however long it looks like it's been in the water for a long time it's got holes through it. I know they're silver and color when they're used and uncirculated but I've heard of people finding them in the ground and it was just nothing but a clot of rust and they thought it might have been a steel penny. What's your thoughts thanks edit my steel pennies do not have reeded edges. Now I don't know. Lol 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F350Platinum Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Did some digging for ya, and the only reeded steel coin I can find is the 20 Centesimi coin from Italy. It's a little bigger than a penny, 22mm. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basstrackerman Posted December 17, 2023 Author Share Posted December 17, 2023 This coin actually is the same size maybe even a fraction of a millimeter smaller thank you for going through the trouble and looking for a match. They're so few coins out there that could match this description you very well could be right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
