Here's some pics of a Wheat cent I found today. At first I thought it was just really worn down and maybe it is but I thought I'd at least post it up here.

This next pic is of the coin in question on top of a normal wheatie.

I forgot to mention that it weighed in at 1 gram on a scale that does not measure tenths of a gram.

The thin coin was dipped in acid, reducing the coins width and thickness. No premium. PSD.

Looks like a 1920 from what I can see.

Yep, you are correct. It was dipped in acid, causing the coins size and width to be greatly reduced.

Used as dimes back when a cent and a dime was worth more than just throwing them in a parking lot.
