I was just hoping that someone might assist me in identifying a coin. The coin on the left is s 1966 Lincoln Penny. I only included this coin as a visual reference and comparison to the coin on the right. I believe the coin on the right is a 1964 Lincoln Penny on a clad dime planchet, but obviously I'm not certain Report this Post to the Staff

The quickest way to ascertain if the coin is indeed struck on a clad dime planchet is to weigh it on a digital scale. The correct weight for a 1964 Lincoln Cent is 3.11 grams. A clad planchet would weigh 2.27 grams. If there is significant wear this would reduce weights. If you coin weighs at or less than 2.25 grams, you probably have a winner.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 09/21/2018 12:53 pm Quickest way to tell if it is on a clad dime blank is look at the edge. If you see the typical "sandwich" appearance that you can see on any clad dime them it is on a clad planchet. If the edge is a solid silver color then it is either plated or on a silver dime planchet. For this the weight is the key. A plated copper cent will be very close to 3.11 grams,a silver dine planchet would be very close to 2.5 grams. Also if it is struck on a dime planchet it will be smaller than a cent and part of the rim and maybe even some of the design will be off the edge of the coin, Report this Post to the Staff
