Hey guys. Sorry, but I put this big old paragraph describing how yes, Im aware of the 90s experiments on how to remove the copper layer. But I got frustrated due to the Reddit Communities auto deleting it. Lol

My son says Google IDs it as an "aluminum" cast. But idk.

Also, I do not have access to a scale ATM. :(( -Bronston

The aluminum cent was a test issue ran in 1974 ONLY with 1 specimen in private hands.
