That I can only assume is from the same year. Any info. would be greatly appreciated. And any references to value would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Just_N_Luck Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96251 Posts	Posted 04/27/2022 11:06 pm That is a copper planchet that the 1919 cent was minted on - cannot be a cent struck over a dime. The planchet would be smaller and silver. Also, the photos you posted are great, but you don't need that many at first. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Spence Moderator United States 34413 Posts	Posted 04/28/2022 02:34 am @just, it looks to me like someone has rubbed mercury on this cent, perhaps as part of a science experiment. You can confirm though that it isn't overstruck on a dime by measuring the weight.
