The cent weighs 2.81gm’s. Was wondering if this could be an experimental cent that I have read about. The only picture that shows the real color of the cent is one with the scale, shiny silver like. 1EF1289D-4F00-4A2C-B5D9-CCD43E54D320.jpeg

    The OP was right - someone experimented with it.

    Reprocessed is the terminology for steel cents.
    Not an experimental planchet.

    And the weight is within tolerance for the steel cent.

    It's been replated. Reprocessed is the correct terminology.
