<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 4553750, member: 84179&quot;]If I recall correctly, there were 2 different weight specs used for the 1943 steel cents.&nbsp; I think [USER=66]@Conder101[/USER] posted this info in the past but I can&#039;t find it now (sorry conder if I&#039;m mistaken). </p><p><br /></p><p>Why do you believe it&#039;s an experimental planchet?&nbsp; Do you have any elemental analysis like XRF?&nbsp; The 2.8 gm listed for the single copper plated steel specimen would fall within the tolerance of a normal steel cent, so weight isn&#039;t a good indication.&nbsp; You said it weighs 2.8 gms.&nbsp; If your scale only has resolution to 0.1 grams, it could be anywhere from 2.75 - 2.84 gms.&nbsp; That&#039;s not the kind of accuracy that proves you have an experimental planchet.</p><p><br /></p><p>Avery, you have a history of making incredible claims about your finds and then refusing to believe what members tell you.&nbsp; Here is a link that shows how an experimental planchet was authenticated.&nbsp; If you think you have one, this is what you need to do.&nbsp; Just saying it looks different doesn&#039;t cut it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>BTW I think you were told that you needed XRF data when you claimed to find other experimental planchets.&nbsp; Why didn&#039;t you have it checked before you posted this coin?</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.coinworld.com/news/precious-metals/1943-lincoln-cent-mostly-tin-and-antimony.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.coinworld.com/news/precious-metals/1943-lincoln-cent-mostly-tin-and-antimony.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.coinworld.com/news/precious-metals/1943-lincoln-cent-mostly-tin-and-antimony.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>You may also want to check out&nbsp; this book by [USER=88504]@Roger W Burdette[/USER]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1127567[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
