1900 Indian Head penny on foreign planchet? Looking for a value??

The weight is off by almost a full gram as you can see, also diameter is a few hairs smaller as well. Value if any???

I would have to think over $100 if it is a wrong planchet

 

How would one know for sure its a foreign planchet or undersized? Is there a big difference? Thanks!!!!

 

Looks like it was treated with acid, which would reduce it's weight some.

 

Acid job.

 

I agree acid soaked.

 

I agree with those that said acid . this coin has been dissolved some in acid or lost underground for a long time and corroded away , then found and the corrosion cleaned off.

 

For what it's worth, here a quick explanation of acid dipped coins:

the reverse screams acid, and not the kind the hippies used to take.

 

Sorry, acid....

 

Is anyone out there sick and tired of seeing acid treated coins posted on the various forums? Whoever "invented" this post mint damage type should be put in jail. Sorry....just venting a little.

 

Yup.

yup

yup
