Thanks for that link Mark1959.
Is this the same coin that was inquired about a year ago or a different coin?

Surely it is the same coin.

Awaiting pics when possible.

In 1942 there were experimental planchets made of bronze and copper that weighed 2.7 g!


Bronze is an alloy that is composed of 95% copper. The density of bronze and copper and thus very, very close. There is no way adding a touch more copper to bronze changes the weight, or any other characteristic, much at all.

Chances are the coin is damaged in some form or another.

Did you make a special request to have them review it for weight and composition? I assume so, but...

The way I see it, (just like last time this coin was posted) - thin rolled plantchet or acid - but at XF40 most likely not acid coin but a thin roller. Does happen - more than you realise.

Submitting this coin on the basis of possible undocumented experimental cents in 1948 seems rather a long shot, I think.

Ummmm... Ahhhhhh...... Whaaaaa,..... Huh? Oh I get it, the OP is pulling our leg! Right? NOBODY, well, I would hope nobody, believes a 1948D Common date Wheat cent is the next lotto coin winner. Ya all can't be that ignoramously mentally challenged now, can you? Or shall I assume you will be the next Nobel Prize winner in Applied Bloviation, joining the ranks of many past Presidents and other famous "celebrities"!




Thanks for the laugh Pennylover, I needed one today, been a looonnggg day!
