Some are, many are not. Please share photos of your 1997 Lincoln Cent Struck On Dime Planchet.

 to CCF. Looking forward to photos.As a general rule,a coin needs a minimum retail value after slabbing of $150 to justify all costs in sending it in. John1

I can see the reeding on the edge and it appears that the lettering is not backwards. You may just have the real deal on your hands.

I have had this in my collection (in a box) for years, just recently retired and decided to get back into collecting and checking what I had. always been skeptical and have never sent a coin off to be graded.

I am not sure on the weight. I may have to pick up a scale for this hobby.

Weight is probably the single most important thing for this coin.

Looks like a penny struck on a dime, not a planchet. I'd take a shot at slabbing it. Or. If you just want to sell it, send it to GreatCollections raw. It'll cost you less and they'll get it slabbed for you.

Hmm interesting, that is the right weight for a dime. Well done.
