Mine is 0.045-0.050, depending where I measured.
I also measured my coins. A dime is 0.045. |

My original 68 is .035-.040, and 69 is about the same at .040 . Thats measured over paint and some scale in spots so would say 20 gauge.

I don't remember the exact reading (I think it was 19 or 20g) but I compared an original ( with factory paint still on it) and repro a few years ago, I used a pull off micrometer to measure the paint thickness and both were identical corrected steel gauge.
