It looks pretty rough but a lot of the mess is clashing it seems. I was hoping I could get some thoughts on the coins size and weight any thoughts really. It could just be a damaged coin but it is off on weight pretty far. Error or damaged is the question either way still a nifty coin. The specs for the penny are: Weight: 2.73g Thickness: 1.33mm Diameter: 18.78mm If you want pictures of any part of the coin let me know and I will try my best. Here is one of both sides and the edge.
