Thank you for the feedback everyone. I didn't think copper could rust. I really thought it was stuck on something else or like missing a layer metal like I've seen missing clad layer dimes before. Also from the way it sounded so different and the way it's evenly corroded/rusted on the entire coin. That why I came here with it.

Thanks. It's weird how it looks in the picture and it may be damage but I don't know how damage would cause raised metal in the coin unless it were damaged all the way through from the back. I know it looks like it's indented but it's raised just like the date.

This is the other one I was talking about. Sorry about that.

I thought I had posted pics. They uploaded and everything???

Also, here's one for you guys to look at. I really think this is the result of a misplaced broken mint mark punch. Also there is worth it a doubt a horizontal misplaced s at the top of the 4 the way I'm looking at it. What's anyone else think.

Also, thanks for replying JPM.

Yes it does. It's actually 2.73. But would that make it sound so much more different than another 1948? I mean it's a very different sound when dropped compared to another wheat cent of same year. Also, the rust has me thrown. Does Cooper rust?

Good day all. I have come across a 1948 wheat cent that I can't find any info on. I'll post some pics but please keep in mind that I know it's corroded, I know it's not worth much of anything, I am not interested in the value of the coin monetarily. I need info about it, the coin, not it's value. With that being said. It's not magnetic, it has much more of a higher pitch sound than copper when dropped and it appears rusty but with some copperish colored specks shining through. Any ideas what this is struck on?
