Chawkdan Valued Member United States 54 Posts	Posted 08/13/2023 5:53 pm Hi found this odd 1981 D penny that does weigh 2.5 grams. Very slick and all letters are extremely thick. Just a bad minted coin? Or .. Thanks in advance for any insight * Edited by Staff to crop and/or rotate images. Please crop and correctly orient images before uploading.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15432 Posts	Posted 08/14/2023 04:55 am Can you tell us the diameter? Is it larger than a normal cent? I'm wondering if this is a Texas Cent made from an already circulated coin - smashed/squeezed to make it larger in diameter. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
