Kenny23 New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 01/02/2019 04:29 am I have a slightly oversized Lincoln Cent with 2 strikes on reverse. One strike the image is mirrored. On the obverse side the planchet is rough with raised parts. Since one strike is mirrored and cent is oversized I figured it may be fake. Sorry about uploading image with engraving on face, that was just to show size difference. Report this Post to the Staff
