Interesting. An accurate weight--to two decimal places--might tell us more.

My first thought is that the copper plating has been removed - by acid or electrolysis.

The plating has been removed. It's damage. PMD. Errers and Varietys.

to the CCF Do you have a caliper. Measure the od. There is a little copper left under the date at the rim. Might be a Texas Cent. |

Mercury or a chemistry experiment?

Cujohn. The copper color your referring to is a light bouncing off my wood panning walls. I'll upload a few other pictures. ijn1944 I'm sorry but I'm not sure what your reply means. I've only been coin hunting for a few years an we all know there's so much going on with coin errors and varieties, and I don't have all the window down I would say.   |

@cujohn, while the OP hasn't given us a diameter, in the group pic with other cents, this one looks to be the correct diameter or at least close. I don't think that this is a Texas Cent. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

I see the Cooper. So this coin was boil in an solute to has this color.
Second for all the folks here: The electroplating zinc core with Cooper could not be engineering reverse. So it is no way to take out the Cu.

Stil not sure how you can consider the copper color that you're seeing on the corn to be copper plating at all when if you look at a different picture of the same coin, there is no copper coloring anymore due to the fact that it is us from the light reflecting off my wood paneling walls creating a copper colored glare unfortunately on a picture or 2
However I am 100% positive that there is no copper plating or color of any kind on this coin. This has been looked at under a decent jewelers eye and no copper can be seen.
However, I am not arguing that in the end, most likely, I will find out this to be chemically stripped ext. I do believe there's enough reason for me to continue researching. After looking at the links shared with me I not sold that this is damaged. I will try an get clearer pictures an under a scoop.
Thanks
