  1. It's supposed to be copper tin and zinc which makes bronze. copper and zinc make brass. the one weighs 3.1 g this one weighs 2.7 g it's quite different it's not on a thin planchet
  2. I was coin roll hunting and came across a 1953 D penny that weighed 2.7 g not of the 3.1 g. NGC tested it came back 95% copper 5% zinc I had a third party test it and came back 95% copper 5% of zinc. Not sure where to go from here any help would be much appreciated thank you

    Don't let your mouth write a check your can't cash

  4. https://www.numismaticnews.net/world-coins/rare-1943-lincoln-cent-made-of-tin-and-other-metals Trust me I've done my homework on this. Again it's just another man with a opinion! Until you had the coin in your hand you will never know. Besides what you say there's endless opportunities here to be a one of a kind. Check out this article since nobody seem to mention this
  5. Scale is calibrated. I do not have the exact measurements at the moment but when comparing to another Lincoln cent you find it to be a slight bigger I'm not going to rule out the thin Blanchet possibility but this coin is a different composition to my understanding. It's going in for a metallurgic analysis test, so now the hard part hurry up and wait!
  6. Could it be a strike thru or like a dropped letter error
