Here we go again. Damaged coins seem to be a magnet.
I weigh all 1983, 1989 and 1990 pennies. This one weighs 3.0928 grams.
Obviously, it's also extremely damaged. I suspect 1980?
What's your opinion on its weight?

Looks like some one used that for parking lot fill
PSD for sure... To me that looks like a 1980 not 1990... Since mid 1982 the lincoln cents have been copper plated zinc and weigh in at 2.5 +/-0.13 grams... Prior to mid 1982 they were a solid copper alloy at 3.11 +/-0.13 grams... If your coin had been a 1990 at 3.0928 grams that would have been a keeper for sure!!!

Thanks, JF. I keep all damaged coins. I'll keep it, either way. Who knows it's saga?! But, at least, it will be safe here. I draw and paint, so I probably see things different. Even damaged, they are beautiful, in their own way.

They are. In a way.
And here, a last drawing posted. Don't want to overwhelm. 'The Cup of Life', ' The Future Yet Unborn', 'Blue Skies'. 'There is Life', 'Luminat pasaj'. 'The Music'.
