Yesterday I found a 2004-s penny that had very high luster but appeared to be about 1.5 times as thick as a regular penny. It appeared to be real and made out of metal but I was not really sure. Is out of a special set? I don't really get the extra thickness with flat edges. Is it fake? I will try to get pictures later, but I thought someone might have some info on it.

Definitely a proof cent from the sounds of it, but would the weight be any different if it was? I cant remember if these would weigh any more but dont think they would.
My hobby: collecting real money 1 copper cent or nickel at a time.
I'd weigh it only because he says it appears to be thicker. You never know....

I think it will weigh the same. It is a proof cent. Not any thicker, just an optical delusion. Some countries make piefort proofs which are thicker, but the US mint has not started that option yet.
