Has anyone ever seen 1922 penny @ 2.72 g ? I ve tried to see if it sticks to a magnet , but it doesn't. I can understand if any of you say because it is worn out quite a bit. I did take a pre-1982 penny to see what it would take to reach 2.72g.

10% loss of metal is not unheard of in very heavily worn pieces. That one seems pitted all over the obverse, probably similar on reverse, so I suspect it's authentic.
