cnickle New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 07/08/2023 8:59 pm Attaching photo of two 1907 Indian cents. One on left is clearly larger and weighs 3.44 grams. Could it be on a foreign planchet? Thanks for the help. * Edited by Staff to Add Year to Title. It's very important to have in the title. * Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 07/08/2023 9:07 pm @cni, I wonder if it isn't encased. Can you please add a picture of the edge, especially if you see a region that looks "torn" or different? That encasement might also be attracted to a magnet.

cnickle New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 07/08/2023 9:23 pm @spence you are exactly right. I never considered that, but after examining it further I find that is encased. Thanks and I feel a little silly for not recognizing that. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 07/08/2023 9:29 pm Hey don't stress at all about not noticing that this coin was encased. This is a pretty common question that we see here on CCF so this practice must have been hugely popular at some point. I'm glad to have helped you learn something and look forward to seeing other parts of your collection on future threads.

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 07/10/2023 01:38 am I've seen many dimes with an artificial rim attached. It helped them "make weight" for innumerable coin operated machines of the past. Heavily worn dimes would not operate the machines because they were too thin or small in diameter. I imagine some people shaved rims for silver and added base metal rims as well. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
