This penny weights 6.4 grams and is about the thickness of a 3 cent silver coin. (very very thin)
Is this a what I think it is and is it valuable? Thanks

Not sure, but could it have been given a bath in acid?

Look how mushy the details are and how skinny the lettering has become. Acid eats away from all surfaces.

I agree with both of the above.
The thin letters and rough fields lead me
to believe it has been acid dipped.
Check it against a regular penny to see if
the diameter has decreased.


Edit-
Correct typo
