daniels Pillar of the Community United States 1620 Posts	Posted 05/23/2012 8:28 pm Oh ok I wasn't sure and then when I saw the zinc showing on the rim I though it may have been struck more then once Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/24/2012 01:12 am Many coins are struck per second. They don't get a second strike unless they don't leave the coining chamber. Just high pressure struck. The rims are probably taller than a normal coin. I found several examples in the 90's with these. Normal planchet thickness, taller rims from strike.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/24/2012 04:30 am No. They are normal size, the rim is taller. The proof Cents are thicker than a normal coin. Only 48 will fit into a tube of 51. But these are normal business strike coins with a thicker rim. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/24/2012 2:30 pm When holding them you can feel the difference in thickness of the rim from a normal one. On the 1973 cents they used more pressue. Look at how far down the die pressed into the planchet. You can see the height of the rim real good on these. Report this Post to the Staff
daniels Pillar of the Community United States 1620 Posts	Posted 05/24/2012 4:13 pm I do see that so more pressure would cause that thanks Report this Post to the Staff
