still lookin Pillar of the Community 967 Posts	Posted 01/12/2017 10:52 am I ran across this 1935 Wheat cent and noticed that it was weakly struck on the west side of the coin on both the obverse and reverse of the coin. The coin weights 2.47 grams. Tapered planchet? Still Lookin Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 01/12/2017 1:20 pm Coining material / strip rolled thin or uneven thickness. The latter could result in a tapered blank planchet. Thinking the weakness is more due to the lack of material. Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st 01/12/2017 1:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 01/12/2017 3:15 pm Based on the significantly reduced weight, I agree that it's probably due to an uneven planchet rather than grease. Neat coin! Report this Post to the Staff
