chgk1628 Valued Member Hong Kong 155 Posts	Posted 09/09/2022 03:16 am Some scars of the clothes showed copper tone. Was this possible the cent a copper core plated by zinc? So it's heavier than a normal 1943 steel cent. Edited by chgk1628 09/09/2022 04:25 am Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/09/2022 10:43 am Copper coins weight 3.11 grams. Steel cents are 2.7 grams. So your coin is a steel (normal cent for that year) and possible plating on the coin making it a bit heavier. The zinc coating or plating is showing wear on the obverse. So it may have been an altered coin. Looks like the reverse is showing some Grease Fill on the EPU area. If reprocessed, it is just a steel Wheat cent. Not a copper planchet coin. Jumps to a magnet.
