Joshu - a Pillar of the Community United States 586 Posts	Posted 10/05/2024 1:13 pm This cent was hard to get out of the roll because it is about half a millimeter wider than usual. There is a lip entirely around the ring of where the rim should be. There is a dent in the middle which is probably PMD. Could this be a planchet error? Report this Post to the Staff

The rim damage that you describe might have come from this cent having been encased at some point, but better pics would def help to confirm this.

Looks to be an Encased Cent - AKA "Lucky Penny". C'mon guys, put your glasses on Edited by Marv65 10/05/2024 6:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Joshu - a Pillar of the Community United States 586 Posts	Posted 10/05/2024 8:16 pm Thank you Marve65. I think that must be the answer. Too bad they couldn't shove the whole charm into the roll. Report this Post to the Staff
