Here is a 1995 P Penny straight from bank roll. I know the feel of pennies and this one feels weird not normal well when I picked it out of the roll it felt fatter on one side than the other kind of like a door stop but not as dramatic..., it just seems off to me, what do you all think? Left side of coin thicker than right side..  |

I see the pic, but you can't tell anything about it. How about some edge views.

The side facing the camera is much thinner than the rest,,, I dont know I guess I am grasping at straws here. it just feels different as well, I have searched millions of pennies there are a few like this and they just feel different.  |

Looks like the planchet wasn't rolled evenly.

@Buddy, Is that a common thing in the coin community?

 sheet was just not rolled evenly, or this planchet came from the end of such a sheet. |

This happens a lot. When you put cents into a tube, you will notice this. Some will say tilted die, but it maybe just the design. But it is within tolerance.

Would also help to have an image of the rev. I'm thinking MAD resulting in a well formed rim on one side and no rim 180 degrees away.

If you want, you can keep it as an example of a rolled thin planchet. Maybe someday you will find a better/thinner one! But I don't see that this coin will ever have any premium value.
Good eye, though -- so keep hunting.

If it were a roll thin planchet issue, then it would be under weight. The strike would also be weaker on the thin side. I'm not weeing that on this coin.
