sunny1983 New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 05/31/2026 10:27 am 1964 Lincoln Cent-Weight 3.25g Slightly magnetic. Grey color. Peeling on Liberty. Cracks near lincoln's head and on side rim. Close up pics of Liberty and rim. I got this in a bag of pennies I bought. Not sure what it is? Real or fake? Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated! & Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24878 Posts	Posted 05/31/2026 10:42 am Most likely it was plated and now the plating is peeling off. That explains the "flaw", color, weight, and magnetism. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
