John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/10/2022 06:55 am . No copper plating and being oversized means it is what is called a Texas Cent. PMD. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19335 Posts	Posted 03/10/2022 06:58 am Suggest placing your coin next to another (proper size) Memorial cent and post a couple pics of them together to judge any size difference. What would also help would be to weigh the suspect coin--an accurate weight. Thanks. Edited by ijn1944 03/10/2022 06:58 am Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/10/2022 09:39 am All the 1993 cents are non copper. They are copper plated zinc coins. When these are squeezed in a vise between two pieces of leather, then they expand, the copper plating falls off the coin. Just an altered coin. Report this Post to the Staff
