Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5772 Posts	Posted 04/24/2022 7:47 pm Where to begin? Oh I know. This is PSD (Post Strike Damage), plain and simple. No error. No missing clad layer on any Lincoln Wheat cent since they are solid copper alloy. Hard to know what the hard white crusty stuff on the reverse is but it's not an error.

I6609 Pillar of the Community United States 1231 Posts	Posted 04/25/2022 04:29 am I don't have a scale yet what should the weight be on this coin and no a magnet dose not stick to the coin Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/25/2022 04:42 am Normal weight is 3.11 grams +/- .12 grams. You also have to factor in wear and the added weight of whatever substance is on it. As to a scale,0.001 is better than 0.01 John1 Edited by John1 04/25/2022 04:42 am Report this Post to the Staff
