JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21605 Posts	Posted 03/21/2023 1:36 pm Hard to say for sure, it could also be plated with nickel. It also has a bezel around it which would add extra weight. John beat me by a minute. Going to have to type faster. Edited by JimmyD 03/21/2023 1:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 03/21/2023 8:36 pm Was going to say that mercury rubbed doesn't add any weight. Then I see the picture, and yes in a bezel. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95755 Posts	Posted 03/21/2023 10:08 pm nice Bezeled cent, also had a protectant of some sort. Maybe it was a 'birth' cent. Collecting since 1972.
