1inabullion New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted 08/26/2023 09:00 am I found this in a collection I purchased. It's a 1953 Denver Mint with amazing toning, it feels lighter than the other wheat pennies, it is thinner and smaller in diameter. Also on the reverse it looks like it's strongly doubled or prepunched. It's impossible to get a good picture because of the texture. What do you think is really going on with this coin? Sorry for the bad picture quality, also I don't have a scale. Edited by 1inabullion 08/26/2023 09:31 am Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34401 Posts	Posted 08/26/2023 09:15 am I also think that this coin was exposed to a corrosive environment as that coul explain the odd surface texture and light weight.

1inabullion New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted 08/26/2023 09:33 am Would acid also cause the doubling? Or what really looks like repunch? Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34401 Posts	Posted 08/26/2023 09:39 am Can you please provide an in-focus close up of the mintmark to help us with deciding if you have a RPM on not? Thx. There are 29 known RPM for the 1953-D cents: http://www.varietyvista.com/02a%20L...%201953D.htm "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
