I used a pure copper cent, you can even see the 1973 year on the back. The machine has four designs but this one with the NYPD looked the best. I will go back for the other three but only when it gets warm.
The front has a mostly beaded border and the horizontal design is the NYPD motto TO PROTECT & SERVE and NEW YORK USA. The reverse is left blank making the front design much sharper.
Here are the stats...
Type/Country: 1 Cent Elongated / Former Empire State Building Themes (NYPD)
Year: December 2013
Mintage: Still in production
Metal: 95% Copper, 5% Tin and Zinc
Value: $0.50 costs $0.51 to make
