There's MANY Novelty cents out there ... how small do you want ?

 

People also used to shave metal off cents to use them as dimes to cheat vending machines.

 

It cld b electricity like the article stated never seen that before very interesting there r two holes one front one back cld b a science experiment lol.. thanks for all the info

 

@Treashunt. Doesn't sound like anyone has certifiable answer. Will your computer magic help figure scale. Thanks

 

You fotgot. Weight would be constant. Hmmmm

 

I am a little sorry I mentioned the electrical compression, it is possible, but is very unlikely, where as acid environment is very common and to me the most likely scenario. Jim

 

No need to apologize, the odds that this procedure was applied to this coin are slim to none. That fact that it exists is fascinating but irrelevant to this thread.

 

The original poster stated the coin weighs 3.0 g vs. the 3.1 g standard. I stated "I don't think the [electromagnetic tricks] are in play". What exactly is being "fotgot"?

 

I also suspect an old encasement. What does the edge look like?

 

yeah, junk.

Possible detecting coin, you can find them, esp at the beach, worn down to a smaller size

 

Lets use english ok. We try to act like adults here. Have some class and text like your not a second grader

 

Forgot

 

I always wondered what happened to my coins. They must have been in Frankenstein's pocket when he was hit with lightning.
