Idky it looks the way it does color wise almost like a blank/Planchet looks when it isn't struck. More red color to it. The rim is super shiny and thicker than that of a normal shield. I see this commonly with coins I receive when they first come out of being minted. Strong strike and sharp. Maybe that has something to do with how it looks. Report this Post to the Staff

But I don't believe that to be the case did expect to be more going on with it if it were clean. The water marks are still seen the darker grey spots they show up like that as well on a blank /Planchet and the color is that of one too. Report this Post to the Staff

gorham_collector Valued Member United States 426 Posts	Posted 02/13/2024 2:02 pm Quote: . a thicker rim says ' Dryer Coin' to me also.. Maybe just one trip.. Most def not a Dryer Coin. Characteristics aren't close to that at all. I've got a whole box of 2023 most of the Pennie's are the same way I got this box in the beggining once they started pushing out the new Pennie's. The apperance of the rim being extra shiny is due to that of the strike it's slightly stronger possible and the dies are newer and haven't been used much. And it being extra thick is all due to that of being struck. I've seen it plenty of times on shields common per se. Report this Post to the Staff

Grease may fill a device on a die but grease doesn't cause a device on a die to expand or get larger. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10504 Posts	Posted 02/13/2024 5:26 pm Maybe thicker planchets happened to be used during that run of cents (weight?). And looks to be a Struck Through Grease example. Material in the die devices make them gone or ~~larger~~ thicker - polishing makes them gone or ~~smaller~~ thinner.
