Masonic Steel Penny - Looking for Help

[sb1]

It has copper showing thru on the rims and several other raised areas. It has been plated, most likely with zinc.

Looks like copper at the reverse rim to me as well. Good catch.....

The store I took it too felt it was decoratively plated too.

That is too bad. It would have been great to have had the aluminum experimental penny with a stamp from a Mason working at the mint. Still a cool item for a Mason to have/display but sadly only worth a few dollars.

Bummer!!!
We were all hoping this was going to turn into something epic. I guess hope is always a dangerous thing.
