John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 08/25/2019 04:26 am to CCF. Need better pics please. Front and back as well as weight. Does it attract to a manganate? Might be plated after it left the mint, or might have missed the copper plating from the mint supplier. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Please add that information to this thread. Thx.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 08/26/2019 7:22 pm Appears to have proper luster, I think this is actually a cent struck on a non-plated planchet. I think you have a real one. Weight isn't really going to tell you anything as a plated or non-plated cent will almost certainly be within tolerance. Report this Post to the Staff
Crazygirl321 New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 01/29/2021 2:12 pm I have one that weighs 2.67 grams. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/29/2021 2:23 pm If it were steel, then it would weigh, 7 grams And it would jump to a magnet. Being attracted to a magnet would mean it was plated with nickel or steel and would have a slight attraction. 2.67 to me would indicate a plated coin. Report this Post to the Staff
