Abrne11b New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 01/19/2023 8:54 pm Hello Everyone. Found this coin in a roll. The only reason it caught my eye is that I was looking at another coin. The Wheat Ears had a slight glimmer. I weighed the coin at 2.84 g. Any help is appreciated. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95517 Posts	Posted 01/19/2023 8:56 pm Is it normal thickness? can't tell without a reference coin next to it. This could be an acid coin, or one that was buried in acidic or caustic soil. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Maybe it was used in a kid's science fair project looking at the effect of Coca Cola on various objects. I look forward to seeing you other find. Please just post it in a separate thread. Thx.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95517 Posts	Posted 01/19/2023 9:36 pm Your cent seems to be a bit smaller in diameter, which could account for the weight loss. Collecting since 1972.
