current pennies are copper plated ZINC. Older ones are a copper alloy,and ring differently when bounced off a hard surface.

I would've thought that any type would be fine for this purpose.

an rf transistor.

Hopefully it was a pre-1976 penny, as the Zinc that makes up 98% of a modern penny is a poorer conductor than both Cu or Al.

They have been growing diamonds for over 60 years.

Indeed. The most important factor would be that the spacer be as flat as possible on both sides, for best heat transfer.

What's the heat sink made out of?

Can it be machined to include a suitable mounting pad? This will eliminate one junction.
