ok fact: it weighs 2.50 grams on two different scales
fact:all devices can be read clearly altho the coin appears to be worn down
fact: still has a nice dark red tone lustre so acid damage or sitting in soda is not cause,i had to wipe some off some of the lustre checking for sticky substances or gunk to be sure

It seems to be a hair off in diameter when compared to other 1975's Thickness if pretty much the same....It has a very unique sound and I matched it to the sound of a 80's Canadian dime? In the pictures I have 4 other 1975 LMC's so tell me what I'm dealing with here thanks

You likely have a cent struck on a rolled-thin planchet. While not common, they appear fairly often and don't bring much of a premium.

Please- don't anyone say it was struck on a zinc planchet, it's not possible as zinc planchets didn't exist in 1975!
