I think examples of a shaved cent have been posted before but the evidence on this one seems pretty clear to me. Worth sharing anyway I thought.

Shaved LMC

2.6g

Normal 1963 Roosevelt dime
17.9mm
2.5g

Excellent find and hilarious title, lahave56!
I found a similar cent and posted about it recently. The replies were very informative.

Thanks for the reference @HondoB I remember reading that thread and was impressed with @ratman's bevy of examples. All of the stories were pretty cool as well. The kids these days have no idea what real fun could be had with a measley old penny. Oh well, I guess time marches on....
