lahave56 Valued Member Canada 260 Posts	Posted Today 4H 36M ago I think examples of a shaved cent have been posted before but the evidence on this one seems pretty clear to me. Worth sharing anyway I thought. Shaved LMC 17.77mm 2.6g Normal 1963 Roosevelt dime 17.9mm 2.5g Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 27461 Posts	Posted Today 4H 23M ago Excellent find and hilarious title, lahave56! I found a similar cent and posted about it recently. The replies were very informative. https://goccf.com/t/491532 Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
lahave56 Valued Member Canada 260 Posts	Posted Today 4H 6M ago Thanks for the reference @HondoB I remember reading that thread and was impressed with @ratman's bevy of examples. All of the stories were pretty cool as well. The kids these days have no idea what real fun could be had with a measley old penny. Oh well, I guess time marches on.... Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 106442 Posts	Posted Today 1H 5M ago love the title, a real eye catcher and someone did a fairly nice job of shaving this cent down. Collecting since 1972.
