Interesting Find

[daddyflea]

I found this Christmas Eve and at first I had no clue what it was. I got home and realized it was two Wheat Pennies stuck together. I threw it in the Tumbler and after a couple of hours got it out and discovered that it was three Wheats stuck together. The Center Wheat is a Steel Penny. One of the outside ones was a 1944 and I am unsure what the other one was. It got mixed in with the other Wheats. I checked it with a Magnet and it is definitely Steel. It is not quite in Mint Condition but I did find it.

I've found two steelies that way

That's pretty cool. I've only found one steel cent and it was on a chain with 11 copper wheats. That's the only reason I dug it.

I found one steelie that was stuck to a copper wheat penny a few years ago. That is the only way you will find it with an ETrac.

Find one of those you can have your house wallpapered on the inside and outside with etrac detectors...

Interesting find indeed.. I found a wheat spill a couple years ago and there were about 4 wheat pennies and an odd disc shaped target that was the same size as the other pennies.
There was not much left of it and I figured it was a steel penny .. my first and only one found so far.

On the Back side you can see One Cent so I am certain it is a Wheat and a Magnet does stick to it. I may never find another so I through it in with the rest of my Wheats.
