Weight Errors (Lincoln Cents)

Simple weight issues generally don't sell for much because they are not dramatic or obvious. They do exist in rather decent numbers, but usually aren't detected. I sold an underweight 1959D cent once for $10, but that's about the extent of what I would think they would be worth. They are usually the result of a thin or split planchet, but sometimes can be the result of having used the wrong stock to make a coin - those are usually much more valuable...such as a clad quarter minted on thinner dime stock.
