Newguy87 Valued Member United States 69 Posts	Posted 07/13/2018 12:09 pm Check the weight with digital scales. The one you want will be 3.1 grams. Report this Post to the Staff

Mrzllewellyn Pillar of the Community United States 1901 Posts	Posted 07/13/2018 12:16 pm Popsicle stick and a known copper cent and see if it levels out and balances straight on top of a pencil or something would probably work Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74707 Posts	Posted 07/13/2018 1:09 pm It's not rare. It's only rare if it's the Copper one, which weighs 3.1 grams. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Bate Pillar of the Community United States 1937 Posts	Posted 07/13/2018 2:26 pm By the pics I am almost for sure this is a Zinc cause the stain around MM and the bubble on the surface but you never know? Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74707 Posts	Posted 07/13/2018 2:28 pm Bate is correct. Yours is a Copper plated Zinc planchet, since you can see the bubbly plating. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74707 Posts	Posted 07/13/2018 2:36 pm Mark, yep. There's been only one found so far. It was probably just a fluke, and a Mint Employee accidently put a Copper planchet in. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
