Kman Pillar of the Community Canada 933 Posts	Posted 07/19/2012 9:36 pm Just found this immaculate coin not a flaw on it and is extremely shiny. Weighs 2.54g. Weight seems normal but could it be missing some plating? any thoughts thanks Kris Report this Post to the Staff

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 07/19/2012 10:30 pm zincolns (which those are) should weigh 2.5 grams IIRC the weight you give is well within tolerance or your scale may be off a little, or they may be a little dirty (oils from touching).

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/20/2012 05:14 am It looks to be what is referred to as a "brass plate" cent. There are a few years known for these. I have found a few different years of the brass plate. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
