huddybuddy321 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 06/12/2025 2:40 pm Hey! I found this penny in my grandfathers coin bucket. I'm still very new to coin collecting, but this coin stood out to me because of its gray coloring, rather than the usual brown coloring. It also has a weird texture. I think it was struck on a clad dime planchet because the rim and image become less visible from right to left. According to my scale it weighs 3.28 grams. Report this Post to the Staff

nfine Pillar of the Community United States 3468 Posts	Posted 06/12/2025 2:49 pm 3.28 grams is well over the 2.268 grams a dime planchet would weigh. 3.28g is right in line with a copper cent planchet that has been dipped/coated in something. Report this Post to the Staff
