91GT347 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 04/10/2023 10:38 pm Found this in my change jar looking for wheat pennies. A ring arond the inside on thhe right, and the doubled edge on the left. Its also very shiny and off colored. Like more zinc than copper. As you can see in the one pic. I couldnt find anything about any 1986 like this. I'm not too familiar with errors other than the double stamps on dates and words. Any info on what it is exactly is much appreciated. I weighed it four times on a kitchen scale. 2.52, 2.49, 2.47, then 2.52 again. So I would say it weighs right.Thanks again Report this Post to the Staff
