Even if it wasn't that isn't enough overweight to add any interest. Sometimes the planchet stock is rolled a little thick or a little thin causing some coins to be slightly off weight.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95806 Posts	Posted 05/08/2023 07:55 am sure looks like a re-plate. Any comparison of thickness to a normal steel cent? Collecting since 1972.
