dutchlabjm New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 03/21/2020 4:18 pm I found a 1943 Penny that does not look like it was correctly struck. It appears to be about the size of a dime and the rim appears to be missing. Is this normal? I have attached a photo of the front. Report this Post to the Staff

dutchlabjm New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 03/21/2020 4:36 pm I do not know how much it weighs and I do not have a scale that would weigh it. It does stick to a magnet. Report this Post to the Staff

Tunnioc Pillar of the Community United States 3179 Posts	Posted 03/21/2020 5:05 pm You are correct dutchlabjm. As lcutler said, the edges have been filed off to pass for a dime. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/22/2020 3:09 pm The problem is that this would not work in a vending machine. The magnet would grab it and then stop working until it was removed. Foreign change that had a base metal of steel often did this years ago. Report this Post to the Staff
