2007-P Zincoln---- what up with this--- no stinkin' copper

[port ewen ace]

weighs 2.5 grams with no hint of plating, even rim is zinc color. the plating must weigh 1/2 gram, at least--- so it was not "removed"-- just a gray ABE----, it's not magnetic


Frank & Enamel--- what say youze

did a rub on small area of rim with #220 wet/dry---- looks to be pure zinc planchet

weighs 2.5 grams. . . the plating must weigh 1/2 gram, at least . . .

The copper cladding of a modern zincoln accounts for 2.5% of the weight (0.0625g). A gram scale likely would not detect a missing copper layer.

Yeah like LC mentioned , the copper wash on the Zombie cent is no where near .5 grams - I've come across a lot of these over the years - some have been oversized (diameter) I'm told that will happen if you heat them .

It appears to have had the plating removed.
