    That is because Cents minted after 1982 were made of Copper Plated Zinc. When the inner Zinc is exposed it erodes away. And your missing part of the Cent so that adds to it feeling lighter... Test? What test? No need for any test, it's just Environmental Damage.

    It's looks like silicon, a mineral that is light, shiny and more abundant that you would think.
