I'm not sure but it looks to be copper plated(?) with a silver metal underneath (zinc?) that I can see on a couple dings.

It is non-magnetic.

It weighs 68.7g
It's 77.5mm in diameter and ~4.5mm thick at the rim.

I did some rough calculations and figured it's 49 times the volume of a real Lincoln but it should weigh 122.5g if it were the same composition and it's almost half that. I don't know, maybe aluminum.

Congrats Connor. I did lookup on Amazon the weight of this 3" coin as 68 Grams. Someone already had 68 so I went to 67. Oh well. Nice merc for Connor.

Amazon is where I got my "68", Jovian. I think you did right by going down for possible wear, but technically I missed it by only 300 milligrams. Better luck next time, to both of us.

Hey, I had no idea that was on Amazon!

I bought it, I believe, from a street vendor or gift shop in D.C. in 2001-2.

Maybe in the future I can try this one...

For now I'm waiting on Connor's response and I'll let everyone enjoy the Holidays!
