<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 183238, member: 1242&quot;]Aidan,</p><p><br /></p><p>Since the coin weighs 2.502 grams, it is out of the range for any U.S. coin planchets but may be within the range of some Foreign coin planchets! However, considering the weight, strike and overall appearance of the cent, it appears to me that it is a Cent struck on an unplated Zinc planchet! Sure, the Cent is .002 of a gram over what a normal planchet should weigh but very few Cent planchets weigh the same. Most Copper plated Zinc Cents will generally weigh anywhere from 2.40 grams to 2.60 grams and some are even well below or above this range. Since the Copper plating on the Cents minted from 1982 to Date should only weigh 0.0625 grams, my bet is that the Cent was struck on an unplated, slightly overweight Zinc planchet![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
