<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DEA, post: 5138775, member: 90140&quot;]Interesting, Ed - [USER=80148]@coin_nut[/USER] !&nbsp; I&#039;m looking at my KM SCWC (2016 - 43rd edition), 1901-2000 - page 990.&nbsp; It says for a 1906 penny (KM 794.2) - 9.40 grams, bronze (CuSn), 31 millimeters.&nbsp; So, I don&#039;t think the diameter or thickness are too out of wack - or not within acceptable ranges.&nbsp; The weight seems a little off but not by much.&nbsp; I don&#039;t see anything under Piedfort, Trial Strikes, Patterns, Maundry Sets, Mint Sets or Proof Sets that could explain a silver penny.&nbsp; Intriguing.&nbsp; The only thing I can think to do is taking some time to figure out the density - <a href="https://en.numista.com/numisdoc/determining-the-metal-of-a-coin-27.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.numista.com/numisdoc/determining-the-metal-of-a-coin-27.html" rel="nofollow">https://en.numista.com/numisdoc/determining-the-metal-of-a-coin-27.html</a>.&nbsp; Let us (me!) know what you figure out.</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT - just popped into my head.&nbsp; Did you check if it&#039;s magnetic?&nbsp; Obvious test but I frequently forget.&nbsp; Like just now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
