Enyaw Valued Member Canada 335 Posts	Posted 02/14/2025 01:15 am I found this thin 1982 cent today. It is non-magnetic, 1.09g and about half as thick as a normal 1982 cent. I am thinking thin planchet, but I would welcome any thoughts/comments. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

Hondo Boguss Bedrock of the Community United States 18334 Posts	Posted 02/14/2025 01:29 am I'm thinking that it was eaten up by acid. Is the diameter smaller than other cents? Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16287 Posts	Posted 02/14/2025 07:00 am Smaller, thinner, lighter weight, fuzzy pitted details... these are all classic hallmarks of an acid soaked cent. Or a "coca-cola cent", if you prefer. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.
