Dearborn Moderator United States 95936 Posts	Posted 05/24/2023 07:17 am this is a plated cent, which would account for the extra weight. Collecting since 1972.

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5670 Posts	Posted 05/24/2023 09:04 am Agree, plated. The extra weight is likely due to the bezel, not the plating. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95936 Posts	Posted 05/24/2023 5:26 pm huh, at 3 am this morning it didn't appear to have a bezel - maybe I was half blind.. Collecting since 1972.
