tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 12/05/2021 4:15 pm Been finding a lot of these lately for some reason. But here's a 1951 which isn't a super common date. I do see a lot of slightly tapered 1951-S that come in around 3.03g, but not enough to make me keep any of them. 1951 Lincoln Wheat cent mint error - tapered planchet 2.8g Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2745 Posts	Posted 12/05/2021 4:34 pm Nice, what are some of the more uncommon dates you find with tapered planchets?

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 12/06/2021 12:45 am Thanks! I'd say uncommon is anything outside of 1940-1956. They remain most common on 1952 and 1955, but anywhere in that date range seems like they show up often enough. Report this Post to the Staff
