Can't say for sure, but in general most overmintmarks are worth less than the cost of slabbing them.

Oh ok , thank you

I looked at the NGC price guide and there's no estimated price for a D/S or a D/D . What do you think it would be worth if anything , giving the condition ? Should i send it in to be looked at or not worth it ?

Try bringing it to a coin shop maybe they can Shed more light on the subject . I would if i still had questions .

Zinc cent that has had the copper plating chemically removed.

They do that to get the copper right ?

Oh man that sux. All right thanks gents. It weighs 3.411 grams is that within tolerance?

As for the weight , it's most likely in the normal range but I'm not sure

Ya  Conder101 is right , i cleaned a few pennies before i found out , do not clean your pennies . But ya now that Conder101 said that . It does looked cleaned maybe with salt and vinegar .

I'm going to be getting a scale today , so i will weigh a few of the wheats i have around year 1942 and let ya know what i come up with .

I'm pretty sure it's just a Copper Wheat Penny 1942 . I have a lot of wheat pennies about 275 to be exact and there all different colors . And i have 54 from 1942 many different colors . As for the weight I'm not sure cause i have no scale . But maybe someone else can confirm it's just a normal wheat penny .

Zinc is 2.5 times as heavy as aluminum, and brass is 3 times heavier. (Round numbers)

I had a feeling it was lighter than both but wasn't sure , ty for clearing that up .

If it was aluminum, the weight would be .93 g , a lot less than copper or zinc.

I didn't weigh it yet , but plan to . I'll post the status here when i do . But it does feel lighter than both , also with my make shift scale i made a ways back . It passes both the copper test and the Zinc , lighter than both . But I'd like to be sure with an exact amount .

I'm guessing just a discolored regular cent.

Most likely , I'm not lucky enough to hit a jack pot item . Although i would Keep it i think if it was rare .

If it is aluminum , it would weigh less than the copper and the zinc pennies right , or In between ?

Online it says it could be a aluminum trial penny , whatever that means .

What happened to this penny , never seen this color before . Pulled it out of a roll from a box of 50 .

To me it looks like a D over the S on this 1942 wheat penny . Or possibly something else .  Ill try to get the best pic's for you guy's .

I have 234 Total Wheat so far , as you can tell by the number i have a lot of dupes . Still looking for 1922 , 1913 and lower 1943 Copper 1955 DDO and such ...
