eagle2a1 Valued Member United States 168 Posts	Posted 11/20/2024 12:51 pm I have attached a couple photos of this 1944 Lincoln Wheat penny which the appearance seems like a streaming effect obverse/reverse. Also, I have weighed it 10x and it stays at 2.8g. Is this just a thin planchet or something else going on worth more investigation or just a good one to keep in file behind me? Thanks as always.

eagle2a1 Valued Member United States 168 Posts	Posted 11/20/2024 4:55 pm Nice. Those wire brushes can be harsh, especially on coins. PMD coin pile behind me it goes. Fun to collect and have. Thanks and rock on. Report this Post to the Staff
