Ebah New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 02/17/2022 3:16 pm I've passed over this because I thought it was a steely. Definitely not and wondering if anyone knows what causes this. Is it an error from the mint? Thanks in advance and appreciate the help I've gotten from the members. Hope everyone is having a great day. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97084 Posts	Posted 02/17/2022 6:04 pm yes, I'm curious as to the weight. possible loss of plating. Also, is this coin slightly larger than normal?

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/18/2022 09:03 am If larger than normal, someone squeezed this coin to make it into a Texas Cent. When this happens, the plating falls off of the coin, leaving this altered coin damaged. Just a damaged coin. Spender. Report this Post to the Staff
