<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zekeguzz, post: 1189572, member: 15455&quot;]For heaven&#039;s sake get a magnet and see if is attracted to it. If it&nbsp; is attracted, it is&nbsp;&nbsp; made of some kind of ferrous metal ie: steel, iron, tin.&nbsp; Not like a normal 95%zinc, 5% copper cent. </p><p><br /></p><p>Next weigh it, take it to a coin dealer or jeweler.&nbsp; If you don&#039;t have a scale get a emery board or some small flat stick about 4 inches, 10 centimeters long and balance two similar cents using a small round pencil or AAA battery. Mark the fulcrum or mid point where the battery was.</p><p>Glue the battery or pencil at that mid point. Next glue one of the cents to one end. After it is set check both cents again for balance.&nbsp; When okay weigh your &quot; unplated cent &quot;.&nbsp; If it is heavier than a normal cent it probably is plated. But if it lighter then you really have something that needs to be sent to a TPG&#039;er,&nbsp; PGS, NGS, ANACS.&nbsp; &nbsp; But this doesn&#039;t preclude it is a fake</p><p>yet if it is heavier. The planchette material could make it very unique and rare.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t forget Lincoln cents 1983--2011&nbsp; weigh 2.5 grams.&nbsp; The 1943 steel coated zinc Lincoln cents 2.7 grams.</p><p><br /></p><p>jUST HANDLE WITH TLC![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
