Both would be very common but need more pics to determine Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34562 Posts	Posted 05/26/2018 12:11 pm According to error-ref, tapered planchets usually are "invariably underweight". @GhosKii, can you please post the weight of this cent? http://www.error-ref.com/tapered-planchets/ "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
