Dearborn Moderator United States 96467 Posts	Posted 05/02/2023 09:41 am given the images (and maybe my monitor) this coin appears coppery, but given it slightly heaver than normal weight. it could have been rubbed with mercury a long time ago, then polished later on. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 05/02/2023 10:10 am Young collectors from many years ago, cleaned coins with silver or copper polish. That is what it looks like to me. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/02/2023 11:12 am Color looks red to me. If plated it could be 3.12 grams. If it were silver, it would weigh 2.5 grams if it were a cent struck on a dime planchet. So if the weight in in the 3 gram area it would be a normal cent planchet. (That is the only way it would be a silver planchet) The devices would would be real close to the rims: Report this Post to the Staff
