mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2989 Posts	Posted Today 7H 41M ago Oof... My first impression is that this poor cent spent some time in a corrosive substance and reduced the overall size and weight (as you mentioned a 2.36g from 3.11g). If struck on a genuine silver dime planchet, it would look much sharper and definitely silver in appearance (and weigh about 2.5g), but yours still has that copper look in your second set of pictures. I would compare your 1950 cent to a genuine example of a cent struck on a dime blank and see how the compare. Edited by mrwhatisit Today 7H 40M ago Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21753 Posts	Posted Today 3H 0M ago Possibly acid dipped. The rims are usually the first to go which would account for the reduced circumference and weight. Whatever the cause, it is PMD. Report this Post to the Staff
