Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 08/04/2023 06:15 am to the CCF! Do you happen to know the weight? It does have some of the characteristics of a Type I blank, but something about it just seems off. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 08/04/2023 07:06 am I see a seam on the edge. Does a type 1 blank have a seam? John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95936 Posts	Posted 08/04/2023 09:10 am Is it attracted to a magnet? How much smaller than a struck cent? It appears to have a proto rim, so could be a type 2 planchet. Being 'slightly smaller' give it room to expand during the strike. But we need more information: 1. Weight 2. Dimensions and 3. Is it attracted to a magnet Just for starters. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

nfine Pillar of the Community United States 3470 Posts	Posted 08/04/2023 12:15 pm I see what appears to be remnants of the Lincoln Memorial between the 2 horizontal scratches in the second photo. Could just be Pareidolia. Report this Post to the Staff
