recent find rare 1958 Wheat cent that normally weighs 3.1 grams this one I have only weighs 2.5 grams are there any other like it that have been found?
Going to need a picture. My first guess is that it was probably either dipped in acid or badly damaged/worn, which would account for the lost weight. There is a small chance it was struck on the wrong planchet, but we would need pictures to say whether or not that's likely/possible.
