Mystery Large Cent

[metaldetectingtaylor]

I found this coin last year and going by size it seems to be a large cent. I recently purchased a coin scale and weighed it last night and it came out to exactly 10 grams on the dot. I just calibrated it too so it should be pretty accurate. Although, looking at my red book of coins, the large cents that are listed have a weight of 10.89 grams. Could the extra .89 grams be wiped away from corrosion?
Thanks, MDT

I don't know if you lined up the coins in the first pic, but it shure looks like lady liberty's bun on the first coin.

I would think it's possible considering the amount of erosion on the coin, yes.

Unfortunately I didn't try to line up the coins. I just threw it on top to compare size. Although it looks interesting, that would be one big coincidence
