The edge is reeded...even with the hole the weight is 5.60g, the diameter is 25.4mm and the thickness is 1.4mm. And I searched all my large cents, none of their edge is reeded. Anyone knows what is going on? Thanks your valuable suggestions! Edited by Glasscandy 12/18/2013 8:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Glasscandy New Member Canada 7 Posts	Posted 12/18/2013 9:16 pm The whole edge is reeded instead of smooth. You mean that is a real one with PMD reeded edge? Report this Post to the Staff
