I know it is in bad shape but not as bad as it looks. So a dime weighs 2.6 and 17.91. A penny of that year would be 3.0 and 19.05. This penny is actually 2.6

It was probably found metal detecting and the weight was leached off while it was homeless. If it were acid dipped, the outside rim would be reduced or even missing. So I ruled out acid dipping.

Thanks I was think the same seeing it was all pitted. Tje same was said about a 1969 nickel I posted for opinion on it being copper and most every one said environmental. There is no carosion holes or any thing. I know tarnish can set in real quick as I seen it turn one of my morgans after only being out for a couple hours. Add blocking the text box

That is the color they turn out in the open:
1937-S?-Lincoln-Wheat-Penny-Weight-2.6
When put back into circulation, the high spots can be worn off:
1937-S?-Lincoln-Wheat-Penny-Weight-2.6
They don't magically turn into a copper coin. The coating wears off the coin.
