Phatum New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 07/18/2020 9:27 pm I found this penny. It looks like it's been sanded but Lincoln head and the memorial look good so I don't know if that's the case. I'm wondering if this is anything significant. I don't have a scale so I can't weight it but it's noticeably thinner than a normal penny. Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you!
