That's it all those questions and no feed back?

ask a specific question other than "Anyone Recognize The Planchet?" Which I don't, to me almost all planchets look alike right after they leave the upsetting mill and before they reach the coin press. After that, they are called "coins"

I'm not sure I understand the title either. I'm pretty sure this is why there were lots of questions.
Everyone was trying to understand the question.
Thanks for the answers.
The porous surfaces and the low weight lead me to think this coin has been in some sort of acidic environment which dissolved some of the copper.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

I asked a question about the 'blob' on Abe's coat... Raised or sunken?

Looks like an acid coin. That would explain the loss of weight.
Errers and Varietys.

acid is not going to manipulate the formation of the metal.its too far ingrained. I said it was indented on the lapel. I didn't think it could be any clearer. Does anyone recognize this planchett. I have other acid coins and it's not the same aftermath. Is this on the correct planchet?

Everyone including myself, take a deep breath before this thread gets locked. I think we need a better clear up-close pic of the indent on the coat. As of now it might be a struck through debris. It most likely was struck on the correct planchet, what other planchet could it have been struck on? John1  |

@ Coolmobd : Do you has any knowledge of the molecular structure of the alloys reacting to the mild acids? Please do not come with stories from the wind.

How about a nice clear and in focus image of the coat area where the 'dent' is?

seems to have been cleaned (with tomato juice, hot sauce, vinegar, etc.) at some point. that might be what's causing you to see an 'odd' planchet. those things will brighten an old coin, it won't generate the 'woodie effect', but it will cause the cent to look brighter than it normally would be, even if it were a new coin.
