Skippy72 Valued Member United States 447 Posts	Posted 11/25/2019 01:17 am Good evening. I have this coin that is overweight. The thickness appears to be similar to average. A crack runs from under Lincoln's chin, to his tie and westward to where a piece of the coin is missing. It continues to the top of his shoulder where it splits and heads southeast/Southwest to the rim. The color of the coin varies. Is this contributed to it's weight? Also appears to have odd logos/figures in front of and behind Abe's head and on his shoulder. It also appears to have doubling.....

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 11/25/2019 08:32 am .13 grams +/- is tolerance. Weight might be because of a thick planchet. Double and triple check your scale. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
