tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 12/10/2020 12:40 am Pulled this out of a bag of wheats last night. Fairly significant tapered planchet, but struggling with the date. Most of these are on 1955 and 1952, but angling the coin around in the light that really looks like a 4 as the last digit. 195X Lincoln Wheat cent mint error - tapered planchet 2.65g Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 12/10/2020 01:14 am What are you looking for? It's a tapered planchet, thinner where it looks thinner and normal where it looks normal. But here is the thin side with circulated wheats above and below. Report this Post to the Staff

They may be more common on those years (I don't know if they are or not) but tapered planchets can occur on any year. Report this Post to the Staff
