beachloan Valued Member United States 219 Posts	Posted 05/09/2012 1:11 pm I found a cent today and it is not flat. At the widest point it is 1.6mm and the smallest is 1.3mm. It was enough that I saw it with the naked eye and pulled it out of the change. What would cause this to happen? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/09/2012 3:33 pm That is just the way they look at times. It depends on how the setup of the rim on the coins and the striking pressure during the strike. I see them often. They are common. Report this Post to the Staff
beachloan Valued Member United States 219 Posts	Posted 05/09/2012 4:57 pm I didn't expect it to have any value, I was more curious how the coin came out not being flat? Thanks for the info coop. The more I understand about the minting process the less stupid questions I will ask. Edited by beachloan 05/09/2012 4:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff
