To the best of anybody's knowledge, has any original Confederate cent (as struck by Lovett) ever been scientifically tested to determine the copper:nickel ratio?

I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.

Otherwise, probably nobody has yet to do this with an original C/N piece, unless one of the TPG's was requested to do so by the ownwer before it was slabbed.
