SmackRampage Valued Member United States 76 Posts	Posted 09/10/2021 04:25 am Good morning! So as from the subject,I have a 1919-D what penny that as you can see from the pics the design of the coin, on both the obverse and the reverse of this coin, don't fit... It weighs 2.8 grams on the scale... So would this be a foreign planchet, or a defective planchet? Or something else? I look forward to your valued opinions, and as always, thanks for your time!

Numiscrat Valued Member United States 221 Posts	Posted 09/10/2021 5:00 pm If you want to see some examples of loss, weigh some slick Barber coinage. Bet you will find a lot of coins well below the lower end of their tolerances. Report this Post to the Staff
sirguardian Valued Member United States 354 Posts	Posted 09/10/2021 5:37 pm I would frame it and give it a good home, the compliment it with a story on how you came across it. List the facts. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/10/2021 6:11 pm When you look at the lower grades on coin, when the 'VG grades and the 'G' grades, the big difference is the missing rim on the 'G grades: When the rim goes away, the devices and design is already headed out of the door.
