This cent is different than the other cents I have of the time. It's not just a concave obverse but a convex reverse. It's shaped like a contact lens. Normally a cent placed on a flat surface will rest on its rim. In the case of this coin, it actually rests near the center -- on the Lincoln Memorial. Compared to other cents of the time, it's definitely abnormal.
