Mikes2Cents New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 09/16/2023 03:19 am I do have a 79 Denver that is in way better condition then the 45.. the color is like a Dijon mustard color to be specific.. I have tried to find examples of acid washed Pennie's and I have nothing that looks close to it? I am interested in the communities thoughts on this #128579; I just noticed this as I posted these pictures.. Is it me? Or does the NT in "CENT" seem MUCH bigger then the CE? * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by Mikes2Cents 09/16/2023 03:21 am Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 09/16/2023 06:25 am @mik, I think we need a bit crisper close up photo to help with determining if you have a RPM here. Here is a link to the one known RPM so that you can compare with the coin in hand: http://varietyvista.com/02b%20LC%20...9DRPM001.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
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/16/2023 07:37 am Mikes2Cents, Standard operating procedure is to check these three reference sites http://www.coppercoins.com/advsearch.php http://varietyvista.com/ http://doubleddie.com/looking for a match. Once you think you found a match, post photos here on CCF the exact same way they are posted on the reference site you checked and ask for confirmation. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Mikes2Cents New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 10/06/2023 3:31 pm Sorry about the late response. Been battling an unknown heart condition.. This is going to be the best I can provide with the microscope I use to check my coins. I hope it helps! Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 10/06/2023 3:44 pm The bigger event on this coin is that it's way underweight. At 2.7g it's about 12% underweight. And as the OP said it doesn't look like an acid coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97511 Posts	Posted 10/06/2023 4:16 pm how thin is it compared to a normal cent? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Mikes2Cents New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 10/09/2023 4:36 pm So I pulled a 79 from my collection and the diameter and thickness appear to be the same.. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97511 Posts	Posted 10/10/2023 11:22 am I can't understand why it is so light.. huh.. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 10/10/2023 7:03 pm Can you us a micrometer on it? I don't know if the mint minted any foreign coins in 79. Report this Post to the Staff
Mikes2Cents New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 01/18/2024 4:47 pm Late reply here.. Photos with a micrometer for ya The coin itself is in pretty nice condition all things considering.. Edited by Mikes2Cents 01/18/2024 5:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 01/18/2024 5:20 pm You should never use metal instruments on coins like that. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 01/18/2024 6:03 pm Yeah you might put that one aside for further investigations. That weight is certainly Abbey Normal. ...and yes that steel micrometer could easily leave a permanent mark on your coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 01/18/2024 6:09 pm I'm still stumped on the weight. Report this Post to the Staff
