A person New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 11/10/2024 1:16 pm I found a 1920 Wheat cent that is thinner and lighter than a normal Wheat penny. Both the obverse and reverse are visible. Can anyone tell if it was struck on a foreign planchet? Image showing that the scale is pretty accurate using a 1955 Wheat cent. And the 1920 Wheat cent: Edited by A person 11/10/2024 1:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff
