CCB420 Pillar of the Community United States 588 Posts	Posted 02/09/2024 1:50 pm Was looking back on some of my Wheaties and came across this guy! Nothing crazy happening here, I don't think, but what do you call whatever is going on with the rim? Almost looks "stretched", for lack of a better term, away from a normal Penny's rim? Haven't put a micrometer on him, but just comparing to another penny, I see no obvious changes in it's size? 2nd question was about the "waviness" that appears in the flat fields, between all the raised elements? I tried taking a pic at an angle of the reverse, which is kinda where I first noticed, but I'm not sure if the pics are doing it justice! I tried to get some close up pics of the rim, which showed me that I have some problems with my lil portable microscope, not sure what those lines are about, I do apologize! Any insight is greatly appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff
