halfamind New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 01/11/2021 8:29 pm Was just reading the thread on the undersized 194x LWC, which reminded me of this 1945 LWC I set aside decades ago. The only reason I knew of the smaller-than-usual diameter back then was the fact it wouldn't stay in Whitman coin board -- it would just fall right out. Someone mentioned that "small" 1945-P LWC is a known "variety." Any good documentation or reasoning for that? (And sorry about the poor photo quality. In the edge shot, the "small" LWC is on the top.) Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 18205 Posts	Posted 01/11/2021 9:06 pm @half, this one looks like damage to me also. With such a thin rim, I think that someone may either spooned it or ground it down slightly. Mechanical damage of some sort.

Rothery Pillar of the Community United States 681 Posts	Posted 01/11/2021 9:38 pm How's the size compared to a dime? Back in the day people would shave down a cent to mimic the size of a dime so it would work in a vending machine. Report this Post to the Staff

halfamind New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 4:54 pm Sorry for the delay in getting back to everyone. The "small" 1945-P LWC is larger than a dime but smaller than a standard cent. You'd never notice the smaller size, except that it falls right out of a Whitman album. I've included a couple of new photos for comparison. Report this Post to the Staff
