What do you guys think? I'm going to throw it on the scale tonight. What should it weigh?

To CCF! Looks like Environmental Damage from being outside. If it is,then it's referred to as Post Strike Damage ( PSD), meaning that this happened after it left the U.S. Mint.

to CCF. You will need a scale that goes down to .001 and is accurate.

@daniel999, first welcome to CCF. Second, yes please give us a weight and a pic of the other side could be helpful too. Thx.

Very easy to copper plate these in a high school lab. experiment,
with a weight gain that is so small that it is almost impossible to measure.

Looking at the picture, it seems as if the lack of sharpness in all of the design detail, is suggesting that it may indeed be copper plated.

The rim looks silver where is it wear the coating off the coin. The color is not dark enough. The strike looks normal. On these missing cladding, it is often a weaker strike because of the missing metal during the strike:
