It's a different year and grade I know but lets follow what an underweight planchet goes for. If there's more to the coin NGC would have put it on the slab just like they did on the slabs in the examples of mike byers coins you supplied.

A whole year has gone by since your last post about the 1943 Bronze LWC then yesterday day you continue the thread with a totally different coin underweight 1948 LWC. A new thread would have been nice

Why and how would it have Titanium?


Because these metals come from the ground and aren't distributed in easy to mine pockets of pure elements. Those are called "trace elements" and are an accepted result of refining on the level that existed for 1948 cents or even today, depending on the standards for the product. Even if no tin or titanium was shown to exist there (or lead, cadmium & mercury), the percentages of copper and zinc are close enough to the desired proportion to give a proper weight if the planchet was properly sized to begin with. As it is, a proper metallic composition combined with a low weight and lack of major environmental damage means that the planchet was undersized when struck.

There's nothing to get beyond what you already described.
