[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 3131869, member: 78298"]Not a foreign planchet. It looks like the same size and composition as a normal zinc cent. Panama and Bahamas have many coins that are the same size and weight as ours, but if that were the case there would be no way to distinguish a difference. What does your coin weigh? If it's 2.5g it's normal. If it were struck on a foreign planchet, it would have to be smaller in diameter, since a larger planchet would not fit. If it were struck on a smaller planchet it would prob weigh less, and it would definitely not have full cent rims. Is there some recent spate of You Tube coin videos depicting US coins struck on foreign planchets? The wear could be from circulation, it could have been struck through grease, it could have spent some time stuck in a dryer and wore down.[/QUOTE]
