HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24878 Posts	Posted 03/11/2024 4:52 pm Came across this 1962-D Lincoln Memorial cent and it appeared "off". Felt thin and light. Without my cheaters on it didn't look bad. Should have whipped out the loupe right away but my mind drifted to "incorrect planchet" and other such zebras. I now know how non-collectors feel when they run across one of these. Weight 1.69 g; diameter 18.41 mm; thickness 1.02 mm. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
