MorgansRmine Pillar of the Community United States 1219 Posts	Posted 11/24/2008 8:17 pm Coin is to well formed to be on a dime planchet. Heat, cover one side with solder and wipe. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 11/24/2008 9:29 pm Normal weight for a 1960 cent is 3.11 grams, not 2.5 grams. It has likely been painted or somehow otherwise partially plated. It is not an error. Report this Post to the Staff

Most "off metals" are not quite as well formed and slightly elliptical in some cases. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
