I see a million people asking, and no real answers. I have not weighed countless, but will tomorrow. Definitely feels lighter, and "cheaper" than a typical copper penny.. penny in question is in the middle.

To CCF! Your coin has been artifically plated and it's not an error. Just a result of Post Strike Damage ( PSD). Value is only face value.

Just to throw out an alternate explanation--perhaps it is not a real cent? The weight will tell us for sure.
