Not sure anyone on here is into coins but I figured I'd take a shot. I recently came across this steel penny while clearing out some things from my grandmother's house. What's interesting about the penny is that it has a Masonic stamp, the G with a triangle around it, but even more interesting than that is the 1942 date stamped onto it.
Everything I've found online says steel pennies didn't go into circulation until 1943. I've found other articles that refer to "experimental cents" but none of them seem to indicate they were meant to circulate.
Anyone know anything about this penny or what an experimental cent is?
