thingee Pillar of the Community United States 2177 Posts	Posted 11/10/2007 04:10 am Odd. It's so thin yet everything is clear and legible. Is the coin copper? Edited by thingee 11/10/2007 04:11 am Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 11/10/2007 04:30 am I have to join the "its weird" group since it has the Obverse and Reverse so clearly struck. Not sure how this would happen but I am sure one of the experts in Lincoln cents will have some kind of opinion on it Report this Post to the Staff
