Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 08/19/2019 10:21 pm I don't think tapered planchet, I just think rolled thin. But the weight isn't far enough off to be of significant value. Report this Post to the Staff
James Hicks Valued Member 179 Posts	Posted 08/19/2019 10:25 pm as everyone else has said, it is probably a thin planchet. The only other thing I can think of was it being a 1944 steel penny, but it looks copper. It also could be a fake coin, but unlikely, because wheat pennies are not worth enough to counterfeit.
