In 1942 there were experimental planchets made of bronze and copper that weighed 2.7 g! 1 1943 D found was auctioned off in 2010 for 1.7 million. There were 40 planchets made!
I'm having mine graded, and so far I know they graded it XF40BN

So your post is to let us know of this or would you like to share some pics with us?
Best of luck on your coin.

Nothing special about 1948 cents?  |

Yes! Pictures of the slab stating that claim would be nice and do you have a link for that 1943 D that was auctioned off in 2010 for 1.7 million.

Thanks for that link Mark1959. Is this the same coin that was inquired about a year ago or a different coin? http://goccf.com/t/297530 |

Surely it is the same coin.  Awaiting pics when possible.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020
In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024

In 1942 there were experimental planchets made of bronze and copper that weighed 2.7 g! Bronze is an alloy that is composed of 95% copper. The density of bronze and copper and thus very, very close. There is no way adding a touch more copper to bronze changes the weight, or any other characteristic, much at all. |

 Pictures would be great. Errers and Varietys.

Chances are the coin is damaged in some form or another.

Did you make a special request to have them review it for weight and composition? I assume so, but...  |

Chances are the coin is damaged in some form or another. The way I see it, (just like last time this coin was posted) - thin rolled plantchet or acid - but at XF40 most likely not acid coin but a thin roller. Does happen - more than you realise. |

Submitting this coin on the basis of possible undocumented experimental cents in 1948 seems rather a long shot, I think.
