The copper in non existant it is zinc-ee looking obverse and reverse. It is slightly under weight at 2.45 ( the scale kept bouncing from .44 to .45) So I'll just say that the weight is more like 2.445 if my scale went that far out. It is over size too, but the devices don't look flattened enough to make up for the larger size. So, what happened to it? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 50146 Posts	Posted 02/27/2021 6:46 pm It is called a Texas Cent. Someone place the coin between two pieces of leather and flattened the coin. This enlarges the coin, but makes the plating fall off the coin. Now just a spender. Richard S.

Hmmmm Spender? naw, I think I'll keep it.. it's kinda cool being all that much bigger and all.. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Dearborn Pillar of the Community United States 1075 Posts	Posted 02/27/2021 6:59 pm WAIT! Are you saying that they do that to scavenge the copper from a cent? Collecting since 1972.
