Spence Moderator United States 33158 Posts	Posted 05/19/2023 9:12 pm Just thinking out loud here. Can you please confirm that this cent isn't attracted at all to a strong magnet? Thx.

rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 3932 Posts	Posted 05/19/2023 11:34 pm Measured weight would be nice to know, but does it feel lighter (a lot lighter) than a regular cent? If not, then really no need to weigh it. Contact me for photographic equipment or visit my home page at: http://macrocoins.com Report this Post to the Staff
