mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2955 Posts	Posted 07/07/2024 09:36 am As DOCC says, that is a poor coin that was subjected to a grinding tool and could never have left the mint looking like that. I have found several like that through the last few years coin roll hunting and know minting procedures can't ever make a coin have that appearance... Nice picture though Edited by mrwhatisit 07/07/2024 09:37 am Report this Post to the Staff
Cmwood New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 07/07/2024 09:44 am How could it still weigh right if it was a grinder. Consider that the silver is raised up higher then the copper parts as well Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19159 Posts	Posted 07/07/2024 09:50 am Very nice example of a very abraded coin. What does the reverse look like? Please provide an accurate weight to two decimal places. A close-in, end-on pic of the rim might prove interesting. Report this Post to the Staff

If you feel you have a legit rarity from the mint, consider submitting it for assessment and grading by a reputable 3rd party grading service. If you do, please share the outcome with us. Thanks.

nfine Pillar of the Community United States 3471 Posts	Posted 07/07/2024 12:00 pm Cmwood- Modern Lincoln cents are 97.5% zinc, 2.5% copper. 97.5% of 2.5g = 2.4375g of zinc 2.5% of 2.5g = 0.0625g of copper If 50% of the copper plating is sanded of a coin the total weight would be somewhere around 2.47g (2.4375g + 0.03125g) which is within 0.01g of what your coin weighs.

Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 07/07/2024 12:20 pm I agree with above. It's a damaged coin no matter what may have caused it. Seen many of these before. Report this Post to the Staff
