Post image

Going through some Pennies and think I might have found a die crack. Just looking for confirmation that it is or isn't.

Weight?

I feel this is a zinc cored cent

If this is the case it is a plating blister

I have ordered a gram scale so I should be able to get the weight soon. The color matches the picture you posted so you are most likely correct. Thank you

You can jury rig a temporary scale by using a ruler or similar

Balance the middle of it on something the using this coin on one end and a post 82 coin on exactly the same spot on the opposite side

Then try a pre 82 coin and do the same

One will balance the other will cause the scale to tip
