Those magicians coins are done on a lathe. Is there a chance this is a full Struck Through Grease since the rim is intact and minute details are present? Really interesting. |

I think that is the obverse and reverse. They don't match. Is it a Lincoln Cent? We can't see anything in the pictures. When you had it under your microscope did what little you could see line up with where it would be located on a normal coin? Edited by chafemasterj

New pics are better. Weight? Diameter? Looks like an un-struck cent planchet? John1  |

100% off center Lincoln (blank planchet). Given enough imagination and magnification, you can see just about anything.

I agree. Those lines you see are what a planchet has. They are rolling lines on the stock material. Seeing something in the would be contact marks from other coin and would be incuse. If it we struck, they would be raised and normal. But the lines tell me this never happened.

Very nice find! It's a Blank Planchet.
Errers and Varietys.

Folks, I can't make heads or tails of this coin  I got a 3D image and some other pics too. It weighs in at 2.5033 grams. The bay sells these for about 3-5 dollars. Since it's magical, do you think it can go for more? Some of these pics you have to use your imagination. One of them might look to say America on it. It's weird because it wasn't where America a normally lined up on a penny.       |

Coop. Based on your knowledge, is this a better find than a blank planchet?

Sorry about that Coop. I'm not an expert (just a trial and error learner), but I just learned a lot of this on my own. Thank you for correcting me. So, it's an Unstruck Planchet then? I learned something new today. Just wanted to comment something nice on this thread.   Errers and Varietys.
