    Need good in focus pictures, accurate weight (two decimal places) and measurement of the thickness as you feel it is extra thick.

    Most of the thick looking ones that look uncirculated are ones that were replated to sell to novice collectors. Like the one that Che_Grapes posted. These are considered novelty items that aren’t worth much, but kids like them because they are super shiny and look perfect to untrained eyes and that created a demand. It was a way to sell all the ones that got environmental damage is what I think happened.

    Here’s a good article from across the street about the replated/reprocessed 1943 cents

    Welcome @Arngdb1 — you make rookie mistakes, that’s okay. Find and read some threads by new posters before you post any answer other than “thank you.”

    If you put this coin for sale, post the link.

    The forums at NGC are a good place to start over (they might need a photo, though.)

    Good luck in your new hobby.
