Condor101: It maybe. It was called a Judd coin. But I did not note the composition of the coin. The image was not noted where it was from. So I'm not sure where it came from.

Found the image of the unique 1942 aluminum cent on Mike Byers website, the marks in the left obv field match. SO it is the aluminum one.

Here is an example of an aluminum cent with the weight on the slab.

I know it is a different year, but it would probably be the same weight.

Probably the same weight as what? The OP coin? The 42 aluminum? The OP coin is a 42 weight should be about 3.1 grams, the Pattern 1942 shown was more than double thickness in an attempt to bring the weight of the coin up closer to the wight of the normal coin, Don't know its actual weight. Could probably find it if needed. The experimental 42 steel cents weight about 42 grains or around 2.7 grams.
