This penny has normal circumference when superimposed on a normal penny. But it looks like it was subjected to a strong lateral force on both the obverse and reverse side, and on the same edge. The coin's thickness is significantly less by eye sight when inspected laterally on the damaged side vs the undamaged normal edge. The fact that the overall circumference is normal makes me think it has gone trough mint's inspection undetected. If the damage was AFTER leaving Denver mint, than one would expect a protrusion in circumference on the side of the damage. Am I right?   |

Your pictures are too large. Recommended size is 800X800 pixels. Yours are 2400

Could have been struck on a partially thin planchet. Is the weight less than mint spec?

Sorry, I thought the system rejected photos if they don't comply. Do you want me to reduce them more?

The coin in question is 3 gr and I weighed 1920 and 1940 pennies and they are also 3 gr.

It is raining in New York, I am lucky to get these photos, I'll retake the pictures when the sun comes back this weekend.

With how the design and lettering closest to that edge is flattened and not weak, I think this is PMD. |

I'm in the PMD camp on this one. The coin looks "out of round". "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."

Diameter using a micrometer can sometimes tell more than an eyeball on a "superimposed on a normal penny". Does the edge show anything abnormal? Thanks, Doug.  Forgot to mention the current images seem to work nice on my end. But the moon has gone down behind the trees about a hour ago. So others may see it differently. Also the obverse rim or the rim gutter has me guessing once more. Edited by Halo1st
