    I think you have it reversed. The OP is claiming a CENT DIE struck a DIME PLANCHET. Even so, it is not what is claimed

    Normal weight for a cent. As stated you have a counterstamped cent, without seeing it I am assuming it is plated making it look silver.

    Simply and it’s been said a few times in the replies to this thread. It’s a NOVELTY! They made a lot more than 1 of them, literally thousands of them exist.

    That was my point. The company that counter stamped them for the Bicentennial made them unplated and plated in order to increase the sales. A great marketing ploy of the times. I was 22 years so I remember it well.

    Isn't it heartwarming in old age to recall that at 22, you remembered things?

    I was only 12 and my mother was learning to drive a car. I can still drive you to the exact spot where she cut the corner too close and scrapped the hubcap on our new car. That was 55 years ago. Lol
