It weighs 3.17 grams and has a diameter of 23.6 mm, vs the normal item of 5.67 grams and 25.4 mm.

I have not encountered an acid soaked large cent-so the etch pattern is not known to me.

Interesting given a lot of acid coins have visibly rough surfaces. But it's definitely from the Canadian Barber series. It's been trimmed.
