tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 12/15/2020 10:07 pm Just pulled this out of a roll. It's a tapered planchet but the whole coin seems thin-rolled and pretty light for just the little bit of tapering. 1953 Lincoln Wheat cent mint error - tapered planchet 2.65g Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 12/15/2020 10:29 pm Yeah, a regular BU roll. 1953 rolls tend to be like this coin, spotty and hazy and that's what they all pretty much looked like but two that were maybe close to 66. I don't pull for grade so whoever gets the roll next will get two nice surprises. But odd that this was the only coin with this error so maybe not an all original roll but one put together from bits and pieces. Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 12/16/2020 08:30 am I used to do a lot of contests, but honestly it has been quite a while. Good to think about starting back at that. Report this Post to the Staff
