[QUOTE="planman2014, post: 2148840, member: 71412"]I am all for the discussion but honestly---is there really anything to discuss? I am not trying to be mean but the odds of this being anything but a plated coin were extremely low. Then we find out this coin weights 3.11 grams. If it weights exactly what it SHOULD way then it is not a pattern or any off-metal error. It is just a penny. I mean the discussion stops there. There is really nothing more to discuss. I attempted to contact OP via PM to tell her that she should just take it to a jewelry shop and weight it. This 'coin dealer' is 1 of 2 things 1) A complete novice or 2) Is a PCGS dealer getting a nice cut from the PCGS fee. I am sorry to be so blunt but there was no need to send this to PCGS and it has 0% chance of being anything but a plated coin.[/QUOTE]
