SilverSlicker001 New Member United States 0 Posts	Posted 08/17/2016 12:26 pm Hey!so I Have a 1909 S Wheat penny and I Weighed, Dropped, and Magnet Tested It and Everything Checks Out....sorta, So the Ping Test Sounds a Little Off, But I Did Not Test It With Another 1909, Are 1909's Made With Different Metals? It Also Weighs 3.2 Grams, Which is a Little Weird Considering It is Only Supposed to Be 3.1 Grams. Does Anyone Have Any Other Tests I Could Do, Or Any Info That Would Help? Please & Thank You!

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 08/17/2016 5:44 pm AND YES, PLEASE DO NOT DROP COINS. If that is a real 09S penny, little dings and dents will deminish the value. Report this Post to the Staff
Saruma Pillar of the Community United States 968 Posts	Posted 08/17/2016 5:49 pm Do post pictures! I agree you shouldn't drop test coins of any real value. There are plenty of other ways to detect counterfeits, plus a lot of of the fakes are made from real 1909 cents that they just add a mint mark, or even VDB, to. So any test to see if the coin itself is an authentic cent would come up positive in that case. Edited by Saruma 08/17/2016 5:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff
