<p>[QUOTE="phankins11, post: 2115186, member: 70703"]Agreed. I've seen this exact conversation 2 or three times and the electrical box knockout is always tossed out there. My point in playing devils advocate here is that the electrical knockout theory has some problems. First the tag end where it was connected to the box is always visible and somewhat warps the knockout around where it was twisted off the box. Secondly I would bet dollars to donuts that it weighs way more than 2.7 grams and is larger than a cent. I have some steel electrical boxes at home, when I get back I'm going to do a little experiment.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other thing that could be a possibility here is that its a world coin blank, again making it impossible to determine its origin. But, [USER=73708]@SorenCoins[/USER] says its at least 2 grams on his scale, he says he can see the zinc and steel layers, it's completly plausible that it's a 1943 steel cent blank that didn't make it to the upsetting mill.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
