Attn Fredwienburg: this is what the coin looked like when I first found it. I removed most of the copper in salt and vinegar because it wasn’t magnetic. This was many years ago when I first started hunting Lincoln Cents. I don’t believe anyone in here can tell me exactly what it is! I’m glad I could grab your attention. I do appreciate your expert opinion, so Thank you. Don’t think I don’t

Anyone know where to start with this one?
Perhaps in the first thread OP made about this same coin?

Superb collections are built more by omission than by addition.
Non magnetic because it looked just like the steel-clad bronze cent. Salt and vinegar can electroplate the copper back on it. It weighs under 3.1. As is. 3.02 is what it weighs now. I’m not saying I know what it is. I didn’t mention I also Used E-Z clean. Thanks for letting me know to use the @ symbol since this that was my first day on here. I was making sure I’m talking to the Fred Weinberg. Congratulations on your retirement. You know as well as I do there are things that mint does not like to come forward with. The first allegation of the aluminum sent was denied by the Director in the first place. I’ve been doing this for 40 yrs. I’ve got acid dipped, silver plated, and fake Lincoln cents. Environmental damage, no way. I thought I was talking to Rick Snow one day on Facebook coin group. Wrong Rick Snow lol
Correct weight for a copper cent- your coin has been cleaned and scrubbed.
It is not the experimental pc. You hope it is.
Worth face value – just spend it spend it Or throw it in the trash so no one else gets confused
Destroying s coin to try to identify it...
Salt and vinegar can dissolve copper cents over enough time. (Don't worry, I've tried it.
)
@Jlamzaf you’re right you have to put copper in with the solution. I’ve seen a 1979 graded by PCGS that looks just like this and here’s what it attributes “white metal”. There’s another problem with PCGS. Unless the mint comes forward releasing a statement that they used more than two types of experimental planchets, then then they’re not gonna know either. If you think I’m new to this then I don’t know what to tell you but I guarantee you I can attribute just as well as anyone else. The mint Director never wanted to come forward with the aluminum sent and if he wouldn’t of died it wouldn’t of come forward. We know the first one that was introduced to great collections was seized by the Secret Service near illegally obtained said that they were illegal to own. But ever since his son sold it to a coin shop in California they’ve had to release a statement admitting to experimenting on planchets in 1973. This isn’t my first day but thanks for your opinion
Based on what he wrote About 1974 and 1974-D aluminum cents,
(none of it is correct or coherent), I think tomorrow is his first day
@ Fredweinberg. I have a Technetics metal detector and when I put this underneath it, it reads nickel, zinc, aluminum, and dime. It mostly bounces back-and-forth from dime to zinc. But it’s all over the place. I know a lot about the mint and some of the things that they do. Like the 1999 mule clash is not a mule clash, and whoever attribute of that! Someone ground down a pair of working hubs and press the Lincoln cent over the top of it! They were not to opposing dies as it was characterized! I’m sorry but I know a lot more propaganda Goes on than I think most people do
I think my aluminum foil hat stopped working.

Who needs an XRF machine when you have a metal detector. Lol

This is the most entertaining thread I've ever read here, though there have been a few others that came close.
Is it just PCGS? Have you been successful with NGC or ANACS? You make it sound like PCGS is the one with the problem.

As the forum recidivist, I predict that one more outburst like that will put your avatar behind bars.
Then, you have to give something good away to one of these peeps whom you insult when they let it out.
Forum rules.
Now, you have a detector that sniffs dime?
I want to see a metal detector that you strap to a dog’s belly so that you can stealth detect.
I have a Technetics metal detector and when I put this underneath it, it reads nickel, zinc, aluminum, and dime. It mostly bounces back-and-forth from dime to zinc.
Since when is "dime" considered an element?
Never let those pesky details get in the way of a really good fantasy.

Is this whole conversation with an AI? Something very off. Is it cent or sent? I think the AI is having issues determining the difference.
