Ham and Egger Valued Member United States 86 Posts	Posted 01/17/2022 11:25 am OK people a friend asked me to check this out for him. This appears to a Lincoln memorial 81 D cent struck on a Cupronickel dime planchet. The coin in question specks are as follows, 2.26 grams & 18.41 mm in diameter. The diameter is under as a normal penny of this date would be 19 mm. Note the off center strike and edge comparison. So all feed back is welcome. Also maybe one day I will get a better scope for pictures Report this Post to the Staff

But cents on a dime has happened before: Edited by coop 01/17/2022 11:34 am Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/17/2022 11:48 am The color looks correct to me. It will be the same color as a dime. Report this Post to the Staff

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 01/17/2022 11:59 am Looks right, although I would love to see it in better lighting as I think the light source is making it look more coppery than I imagine it looks in hand. Congrats on an excellent find! Edited by SamCoin 01/17/2022 12:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff
