Theres many concerns about lettering and numbers. The 2 in date, liberty, and the word god. I took pictures and I apologize if blurry. On reverse side tip of c in America etc. Just looking for knowledgeable info about this coin. Hope its something good. Report this Post to the Staff

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2981 Posts	Posted 12/14/2021 8:34 pm Looks like a large date, slight misaligned die, and I think I can go so far as to say 95% copper. That speckled appearance is kinda throwing me off on what type it is. Some of those things you are seeing look like circulation hits to me . Report this Post to the Staff
Zander2014 Valued Member United States 140 Posts	Posted 12/14/2021 8:54 pm Thank you. I'm still thrown by the weight 3.2 grams every time. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 99941 Posts	Posted 12/15/2021 06:27 am Large date copper coin. What is up with the images? so grainy. Is that your camera set up or does the coin look like that?

Considering the red background looks just like the surfaces of the coin.... I'm going to have to say it's a camera issue... JMHO. As far as the weight, what type scale are you using? I'm assuming your scale reads out to only tenths of a gram? If so, the coin may weigh 3.15 grams (still well within the Weight Tolerances of a copper Lincoln as already mentioned) but this would round your scale reading up to 3.2 grams. No big deal either way, still within tolerance. Normal copper Cent IMO. Report this Post to the Staff
