Muncie Valued Member United States 76 Posts	Posted 07/20/2022 7:02 pm I believe that is what happened to this coin. Does this have value of more than a penny and what should I do with it? Grade or leave as is? Thank you all again. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21602 Posts	Posted 07/20/2022 7:26 pm The reverse is not a Greaser, it has been ground down after the cent was minted. Just a damaged coin now and ungradeable. Report this Post to the Staff
Muncie Valued Member United States 76 Posts	Posted 07/20/2022 7:42 pm I thought the same but it still weighed 3.1 when it's on the scale Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95618 Posts	Posted 07/20/2022 10:57 pm The cent may have started out a little heavy. does your scale measure out to 2 decimal points? (eg - 3.11g) if not your coin could weigh as little as 3.05 and is rounding up.... But Seeing how your CENT has no reverse rims, it has been reduced manually (sanded). There is no sign of the 'proto rim either. The proto rim is formed during the up-setting phase that turns a blank into a planchet. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
