  How much does it weigh?

  I've had great transactions with people like: drwstr123, CCC2010, AlanLastufka, Type2, Justlooking, zas107, StrikeOutXXX, 10point, 66Tbird, and many more!

  Looks like a dug coin. Clad that's been buried will often have a reddish color after a partial cleaning.

  Without seeing the edge, I think it's difficult to tell, but from the details visible, I'd say it looks corroded to me.

  If you haven't noticed, I'm single and miserable and I've got four albums of bitching about it that I would offer as proof.

  I'll get a photo or two of the edge up tomorrow morning!
  I did look at the edge again and it's the same color as the coin.

  IMO, the coin has been copper-plated, and
  is not a mint error........sorry.....

  Well, I was able to get it weighed and here are the results... 2.21 Grams!
  So, that for Sure says it's copper plated or something, correct?
  Thanks,

  It's just stained a brown color.
