coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/10/2019 7:27 pm Looks like it was placed on an anvil and the edge was rolled and it widened out the edge a bit. If that is the case the coins diameter should be smaller than a normal cent. Looks altered. (Note it zinc is showing.) Report this Post to the Staff
DrDon Pillar of the Community United States 2624 Posts	Posted 02/10/2019 7:32 pm The coin does look smaller than the other cent in the photo. Report this Post to the Staff
Cartiwr31 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 02/10/2019 7:48 pm So what do you think about it. I'm pretty sure I got somethin good.. The actual circumference is smaller than a normal penny too I dunno if that means anything to an expert. ...amd so that's the zinc showing I was wondering.

Cartiwr31 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 02/10/2019 7:55 pm Altered as in somebody like hit it themselves I mean all the lettering on it is the exact same size as on a regular penny it's just like that had too much metal in it or something but I don't know I got a coin guy local and friend of the family I'm going to go holler at him in the morning he's got a big coin shop in town... If it was an error what would something like that even be worse just so I can have an idea in my head I probably won't it wouldn't even sell it right away but just to have an idea Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 02/10/2019 7:56 pm It could be from thicker stock. I have a 2000 P cent that is as thick as a proof cent but it is just thicker stock. No premium for those unfortunately. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/10/2019 8:01 pm It is a damaged. Coin. The collar forms the outside of the coin. It was normal then it was altered. No premium. Weight is totally normal. Just the edge was rolled up. Another thing that damages coins is commercial clothes dryers: But I feel yours is not like that. On a Dryer Coin the metal is folded over the edges. No premium for these either. Just a damaged coin. Report this Post to the Staff
