standstill New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 03/07/2021 07:25 am Hi, This coin is not magnetic. The coin on right side is about 3.1 grams. I feel the amount of wear dose not explain the low weight. It has a weak strike on some spots. The rims are strong except in a small spot. Coin seems to be slightly darker the my other coins. Can someone please tell me where I can find out about this error, Thanks 1953s Wheat cent - weight is 2.62 grams - 1.42 mm thick - 19.1 mm wide Edited by standstill 03/07/2021 07:31 am Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 50047 Posts	Posted 03/07/2021 07:55 am Sounds like a thinned planchet issue. Note the weaker struck areas? Check with two other cents to see the thinned area. Richard S. Cooper Some have asked about my images I use and I'm glad to say, you can now you can see the DVD in sections on youtube: 1. Intro, older coins, toned coins 2. Doubled dies 3. Die events, One of a kind errors 4. So called errors, Coin information 5.

ijn1944 Pillar of the Community United States 3579 Posts	Posted 03/07/2021 08:01 am Interesting. Please post photos of the coin end-on--direct shot at the rim in two or three places along the rim. Stack with your comparison coin. Thanks. Edited by ijn1944 03/07/2021 08:01 am Report this Post to the Staff
standstill New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 03/07/2021 08:44 am Hi again, The subject coin is the one in the center, 4th coin from end. not much to see but it shows a little bit. The book say it should be 1.52mm thick. my caliper may not be correct or my use of it. I measured another coin at 1.57mm, so the subject coin may be smaller than 1.42mm. I'm so excited, this may be my best penny find ever. Report this Post to the Staff

standstill New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 03/07/2021 09:08 am This scan seems to show it a little better. I was thinking that maybe a foreign planchet got thrown in the hopper by mistake. I herd that happens some times. Thanks for the interest. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Pillar of the Community United States 3579 Posts	Posted 03/07/2021 09:14 am Yes, thinking thinned planchet. Nice find. Save in a labeled 2x2 for future reference. Report this Post to the Staff
