Picked up at a show for a buck today. Is this a weak RPM? I checked Copper Coins and Variety Vista, but nothing really jumped out at me. The cent is still in a flip, but if we think it's something interesting, I can cut it out.  |

It sure does look like WRPM-021.
Errers and Varietys.

To my eyes WRPM-021 looks lower than Brands. With those junky 4's have you checked for a DDO ? |

Pics are deceiving though, possible angled pic, shadows and the fact it's under plastic, who knows. That's why I suggested the OP check for markers.  -makecents-

There were no matching markers for WRPM-021 (or 022, which looked similar). While the die scratches through IN are probably damage, I thought those circular scratches along the rim were a result of manufacture? They appear on many nickels, even in EDS.

I will cut it out of the flip tomorrow, soak in acetone, and take better images. The flip has a lot of crud anyway.

I'm gonna say that the claim of "uncirculated" seems dubious. =P

Brand, what going on with the ear? Is that damage or a doubled ear?  -makecents-

 There seems to be a knock or maybe a die chip on the lobe tip. I can't say that I'm entirely familiar with Abe Lincoln's ear, though. Perhaps it was just the axial lighting casting an odd shadow? |
