It's odd the DATE looks like something you would see on a zinc rot date. Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 06/15/2020 12:28 am The fire explanation is plausible, but I can assure you it's not paint. As noted, it's 3.00 grams and the same consistency visible on the surface can be seen riddling the planchet on the sides of the coin. 100% not paint or plating. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 06/15/2020 12:35 am Just a coin's natural wear over time can reduce it's weight by .1 grams easily. Wheat cents typically weigh 2.9-3.1 grams, and even 2.8 grams is not uncommon. Like stated by others, I feel this is more of a foreign substance issue than a lamination.

I can see you'll need to send it in to get the answer your looking for good luck. Report this Post to the Staff
