Did you compare the reading with certified calibration weights? Or some other known weight?  |

to the CCF! Please post full images of each coin, both sides. Crop them to show only the coin, but try not to cut off any of the coin rims or edges. The coin is showing lots of wear, but not enough to account for this much of a difference in weight. The reverse image will help with members with opinions as to what's up with the coin.

This has been a topic in a variety of online forums having numerous suggestions.
What is the weight, diameter and thickness?
Is the planchet thin or tapered?

could it possibly be a genuine mint error,like the 1974 aluminum,or the 1943 copper?

We still don't know what the thickness is from the OP.
As far as sound goes, that is subjective and influenced by the listeners ear and the surface dropped on.
I'd do a specific gravity test, just as part of testing. Perhaps a blend of salvaged cartridge cases & copper.
Could be a mint error (thin planchet) as that is one possibility among others on other forums.

How about a side edge view with this coin between two others in a stack of 3. That would show the thickness of the planchet. It looks like the 1:00-2:00 obverse area is thinner?

I agree with Coinfrog. I'd bet a rolled thin planchet to begin with. I also agree sound is very, very subjective. to the CCF!  |
