CCMorgan Valued Member United States 53 Posts	Posted 03/16/2026 7:03 pm Hi all, I came across this 1941 Wheatie... it weighs 1.5g and is very thin. I have no clue what it really is, but found pages on experimental planchets in 1941. any known 1941 this lite? if compared to a regular 1941, it almost looks like the rim is removed and the coin is about 1/2 the thickness. I know it is severely worn but that is a huge jump from 3.11 to half that... any insight would be appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff
