I wondered about the wieght, i understand it ciuld be off from whatever somebody did to this poor thing but they couldnt shrink it all together could they it is thin about one third of its thickness is gone and its not 19 mil. Acrossed. Could it be a wrong planchett?

No. It is acid treated. All of its dimensions are reduced which is consistent with a coin soaked in acid.

A wrong planchet would not look this way. Your cent was properly struck and then reduced.

OOOOOkay.... What in particular is 'stumping' you? Weight? Condition? Could you please be a tad more specific? Cheers, RickO

The loss of weight is from corrosion.

A picture may be worth a thousand words...but about 20 words or so would be priceless!

At first I was thinking it might be a thin planchet. But looking at the surface condition of the cent I would lean towards acidic removal of a few layers. But .5 gram is a lot of difference...

Loss of weight I think is because of acid or corrosion.
