P0larray New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 01/09/2011 6:29 pm I found this Lincoln Cent going through my first box from the bank. I showed it to my uncle and we believe it is a misstrike of some sort, but we're not sure what to call it. The left side of the cent has a very wide rim whilst the right side has no rim at all.

tornandfrayed75 Valued Member United States 447 Posts	Posted 01/11/2011 7:53 pm I have found several of these also. At what point do they become "savable"? When the rim gets extremely thin, or when its totally gone, or a certain percentage off center? Report this Post to the Staff
