Oldfordman Pillar of the Community United States 2869 Posts	Posted 06/24/2021 3:39 pm I found this in a bank box. It says us and it looks modern so I posted this here. My scale is not operational so I dont have a weight. Same size and seems to be on a copper cent planchet. Thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

Oldfordman Pillar of the Community United States 2869 Posts	Posted 06/24/2021 8:56 pm It weighs out 2.580. Battery's was the only thing out in my scale. I wonder how it got into that box? Report this Post to the Staff

There are many ways they can accidently be put into circulation because they are made on zinc cent planchets. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps. Report this Post to the Staff
