From what I've learned most all de-lamination coins show that they run in a straight line. At least the ones that I have do.

More of a struck through debris issue. Jim is probably quoting me as I've said the many times. If so, then the coin should be a bit heavier as metal is added to the coin.

Again, you're right Mr.Coop. Weight is 3.08gm

Well it should have been over 3.11+.

Jim, check your scale. It might need to be recalibrated.
Would an underweight coin suggest damage?

Buddy, it's spot on. I put an uncirculated 1974D on it and it weighed 3.1gm

Note how the obverse image you posted looks a bit out of round? at 11:00. Is the reverse complete?

I'll pull that cent and take reverse pics. It won't be until tomorrow though!

3.11gr +/-.13gr at 3.08 is very close considering wear as is. 3/100 of a gram isn't very much.

Very nice and interesting find! That's a very good example of a coin being Struck Through Copper Foil Scrape.
Errers and Varietys.

The devices look a bit smaller, but that would not affect the weight. Why not? The planchet is started and finished with the strike with the same weight on a normal strike. If metal is struck onto the coin, then the coin would be a bit heavier. If there was a lamination, then it would weigh less because of the loss of coin material. But a set of smaller devices, mint marks, die cracks, Cuds, struck through (without the item it was struck through) will not change the weight. The metal is just rearranged to have the same weight going in and coming out a coin. But your coin does show some wear in circulation. But I expected the weight to be a bit higher. (weight + struck through debris) But the planchet may have been a bit light and the struck through didn't change the weight. Thanks for the extra images. (I like exploring all possibilities) |
