Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 05/13/2016 10:18 pm Hi Greott - might be an acid dipped coin. Your pictures are not close enough for me to ascertain if this is the case or not. But generally speaking, the surface would be irregular. Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 05/13/2016 10:19 pm Wish I could zoom in on the obverse, but currently can't or doesn't help. Thinking this split planchet before strike pending the obverse markings. If not, then stock rolled thin prior to the blanking process. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/14/2016 04:33 am I think it was minted on thin stock blanks. It is a keeper. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 05/14/2016 09:55 am I don't think it's a split planchet, I think it's a rolled thin planchet. It's not an acid soaked cent. Edited by Conder101 05/14/2016 09:55 am Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/15/2016 10:46 am I agree. Thinned planchet. The lack of thickness did not let the highest points be formed. (bust and Memorial) Edited by coop 05/15/2016 10:46 am Report this Post to the Staff
