[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 851152, member: 4350"]It is most likely a plated Lincoln cent. If it is, it will weigh about 3.11 grams. There is an outside chance that it is a cent struck on a dime planchet as they are encountered from time to time. If it is, it would weigh around 2.50 grams. A cent struck on a dime planchet will be smaller in circumference by a hair and the details may be weak. If the coin looks to be the same size as a cent diameter wise and thickness wise, then it is 99.999% likely to be plated. Thanks, Bill[/QUOTE]
