Datdudeuknew New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 01/04/2025 8:44 pm I have a 2015 penny that I cannot find anything about. It weighs 2.48 grams and is oversized with no stretching. It sounds as a different metal when listening to each penny. I think that it may be some other type of metal but it weighs the same as a regular penny. Any thoughts. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 99221 Posts	Posted 01/05/2025 08:39 am to CCF. Agreed a so-called ' Texas Cent'. A zinc cent that has been crushed a bit to enlarge it in order to get the copper plating to come off. (in theory, anyway) Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 01/06/2025 3:51 pm to the CCF Is it the first one, or the second one? The first one is zinc rot, can't see anything wrong on the second. Report this Post to the Staff
