Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 03/11/2014 1:01 pm You're a very bad man Mr. Cooper! I found a 1943 plated copper years ago (maybe 35) and the patina on that penny has never changed. Brighter copper color like Scotty11, maybe even a little brighter. The OP's coin looks pretty genuine until you look at the reverse (the corrosion spot). Report this Post to the Staff

So is it fake? Scale isn't off, information is. The steel cents were made from two different weight standards 2.68 and 2.75 gram planchets. Ona a scale that reads to one decimal place most steel cents would indicate 2.7 grams Also the steel cent had the same .13 gram tolerance that the copper cents had so a genuine could weigh anywhere from 2.55 to 2.85 grams. Or on a one place scale from 2.6 to 2.9 grams. Report this Post to the Staff
