Cecilia Sowinski Valued Member United States 171 Posts	Posted 09/09/2023 01:03 am I found this 2005-D penny that weighs 2.1 grams and is the size of a dime. Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated. Thanks Edited by Cecilia Sowinski 09/09/2023 01:04 am Report this Post to the Staff

This looks like a zincoln cent that has bee traumatized. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75623 Posts	Posted 09/09/2023 01:27 am This is a normal Lincoln Cent that's been heavily damaged, after it left the U.S Mint. PMD. Not struck on a Dime planchet. It would be a Silver color, if it was. https://www.coinworld.com/news/us-c...auction.html Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

A lot of people do a lot of weird things to coins. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
