the two-cent piece is exactly twice as heavy than the indian head cent. And the same double volume, since the metal make-up is identical. If you compare their radii, the two-center is of course thicker. It turns out that if you take their surface areas, there is only a 50% increase. The larger coin is thicker. Were these thickness and diameter specs chosen this way for a reason?

Sounds like a bad clone to me.

Is that a Russ alt? The reply has a familiar ring to it...
Rust never sleeps.

It would be appropriate - rust on a die can lead to frost on a coin.
