Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5240 Posts	Posted 07/03/2019 2:18 pm If it weighs 3.0 it may be the real deal but the rim doesn't look quite right to me. It's either copper or heavily plated zinc. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74853 Posts	Posted 07/03/2019 3:25 pm Take a picture of the scale. That's very interesting that the weight is off. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Evan7 Pillar of the Community United States 1070 Posts	Posted 07/03/2019 5:05 pm You can do a "drop" test. Copper will have a ring to it compared to zinc cent. If this is a legit copper cent. HUGE congratulations to you! Cheers Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/03/2019 7:21 pm The little pits I see all over it is an indication of it being a zincoln. Double check your scale would be my first recommendation. Second,better clear pics. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 07/04/2019 09:15 am What is the precision of your scale? How many places after the decimal? If it only weighs whole grams even a very slightly over spec zinc cent will show as 3 grams. OK missed it, you said it weighed 3.0 grams. That leaves checking to make sure the scale is accurate. If it is then it would be a GOOD idea to get it certified. Edited by Conder101 07/04/2019 09:19 am Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5240 Posts	Posted 07/04/2019 1:52 pm I had posted earlier that the rim doesn't look quite right. I stand by that and believe it is nothing more than a zinc cent. May be heavily plated but a zinc cent nonetheless. Report this Post to the Staff
