Hey everyone, all I've been able to find out regarding this error is supposedly there's only like 30 known cases. I think my coin, oddly, might be one for a few different reasons but ultimately I need to find a XRF, but what do yall think?
Standard 1919-P Wheat penny
Weigh 3.11g
Diameter 19-19.05mm
Thickness 1.52-1.55mm

My penny
Weigh 3.04g
Diameter 19mm
Thickness 1.32-1.35mm

The 1930 Penny is simply for comparison reference

From the information I can see online, the coin is slightly heavier (by 0.04g) and slightly thicker (by 0.02-5 mm) than a Argentine 10 Centavos, but I cant find information on whether or not this was within acceptable mint tolerances. From the picture I cant tell if its silver colored or yellowish. If its yellowish it might be acid dipped.

Your 1919 has seen better days, it's wore down and has a lot of PMD, I don't think it is the Argentina version.

Henry Voight, unfortunately that yellowish is my ceiling light. And yes this coin has definitely seen better days. The thing that gets me is the thickness or rather how thin it is. Idk though, need to get it tested with a XRF. Would be pretty cool if it turns out to be one though.
