lahave56 Valued Member Canada 263 Posts	Posted Yesterday 12:11 pm I think examples of a shaved cent have been posted before but the evidence on this one seems pretty clear to me. Worth sharing anyway I thought. Shaved LMC 17.77mm 2.6g Normal 1963 Roosevelt dime 17.9mm 2.5g Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 27479 Posts	Posted Yesterday 12:24 pm Excellent find and hilarious title, lahave56! I found a similar cent and posted about it recently. The replies were very informative. https://goccf.com/t/491532 Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
lahave56 Valued Member Canada 263 Posts	Posted Yesterday 12:41 pm Thanks for the reference @HondoB I remember reading that thread and was impressed with @ratman's bevy of examples. All of the stories were pretty cool as well. The kids these days have no idea what real fun could be had with a measley old penny. Oh well, I guess time marches on.... Report this Post to the Staff
