Pushing5150 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 01/27/2022 09:00 am I thought about it being plated as well but the weight threw me off.. it should weigh 3.11 but it only weights 3.1 well within the margin, however wouldn't plating it make it weigh more than it should not less?

The OP only weighed his coin to one decimal point instead of two. It could weigh 3.12 or 3.13 plus there is a +- variation of 1.9g so it is well within spec. Report this Post to the Staff

mds308 Pillar of the Community United States 1721 Posts	Posted 01/27/2022 11:07 am Here is my not so very rare plated penny. This belonged to my father. These always pop up as "silver pennies" or "on the wrong planchet." Report this Post to the Staff
