Mikec1 New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 10/08/2024 12:52 pm Hello all. I have read many post about this same cion. They all seem to be dated 1986 D. The one I have is also that date. The penny I have is 2.54 grams but also measures 7.75 inches in diameter. This is my first post so hope the photos upload correctly. Any thoughts from the experts. Thank you.

Mikec1 New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 10/08/2024 1:45 pm Thanks for the reply. Your thoughts on the larger diameter and why are all these you see dated 1986 D? Thanks again. Mike Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19268 Posts	Posted 10/08/2024 1:59 pm Much post-strike damage. May have been submerged for some time in a pond or poorly maintained fountain. Curious.... but also measures 7.75 inches in diameter. I assume this is a typo? Report this Post to the Staff
fplagge Pillar of the Community United States 660 Posts	Posted 10/08/2024 2:39 pm If you meant to say 0.75 diameter, that would be the exact standard for your cent. You certainly could not think your coin would be over 7 inches diameter. Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 10/08/2024 3:47 pm to the CCF and Copper has been removed somehow. This happens on all different years from 82 on. Report this Post to the Staff
