Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 05/08/2018 1:20 pm I found this 1967 P LMC that I believe has been struck through copper foil scrap. How this cent survived this long without peeling off I will never know. Report this Post to the Staff

Newbie234 Pillar of the Community United States 1386 Posts	Posted 05/08/2018 1:41 pm Very interesting. I'm going with a lamination flaw or faulty planchet. Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 05/08/2018 1:51 pm From what I've learned most all de-lamination coins show that they run in a straight line. At least the ones that I have do. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/08/2018 2:36 pm More of a struck through debris issue. Jim is probably quoting me as I've said the many times. If so, then the coin should be a bit heavier as metal is added to the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 05/08/2018 2:46 pm Again, you're right Mr.Coop. Weight is 3.08gm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/08/2018 2:56 pm Well it should have been over 3.11+. Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 05/08/2018 3:39 pm Jim, check your scale. It might need to be recalibrated. Would an underweight coin suggest damage? Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 05/08/2018 4:00 pm Buddy, it's spot on. I put an uncirculated 1974D on it and it weighed 3.1gm Report this Post to the Staff
shotgung Pillar of the Community United States 1101 Posts	Posted 05/08/2018 4:03 pm Pretty cool either way. I'd own it Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/08/2018 4:07 pm Note how the obverse image you posted looks a bit out of round? at 11:00. Is the reverse complete? Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 05/08/2018 4:46 pm I'll pull that cent and take reverse pics. It won't be until tomorrow though! Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 05/08/2018 4:58 pm 3.11gr +/-.13gr at 3.08 is very close considering wear as is. 3/100 of a gram isn't very much. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74662 Posts	Posted 05/08/2018 5:06 pm Very nice and interesting find! That's a very good example of a coin being Struck Through Copper Foil Scrape. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/09/2018 12:50 pm The devices look a bit smaller, but that would not affect the weight. Why not? The planchet is started and finished with the strike with the same weight on a normal strike. If metal is struck onto the coin, then the coin would be a bit heavier. If there was a lamination, then it would weigh less because of the loss of coin material. But a set of smaller devices, mint marks, die cracks, Cuds, struck through (without the item it was struck through) will not change the weight. The metal is just rearranged to have the same weight going in and coming out a coin. But your coin does show some wear in circulation. But I expected the weight to be a bit higher. (weight + struck through debris) But the planchet may have been a bit light and the struck through didn't change the weight. Thanks for the extra images. (I like exploring all possibilities) Report this Post to the Staff
