bgh177 New Member United States 46 Posts	Posted 12/27/2025 3:03 pm I've had 22-D cent swimming around in the mix for years that appears quite a bit smaller in o.d. and overall profile than what seems to be the norm. Had a few people awhile back say it was a "dryer penny"..."it was worn down and shrunk that way", not so sure about all that but I do appreciate the effort...lol. Looking around again today for some other wild & crazy possibilities as to why? Struck on a planchet meant for another coin? Thoughts? Thank for any other ideas. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73806 Posts	Posted 12/27/2025 3:25 pm Strange. I don't see any signs of it going through a dryer. I'm honestly not sure why it's smaller. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21589 Posts	Posted 12/27/2025 3:31 pm Being struck on a wrong planchet would not change the size as it is the collar that dictates the size and yours is fully struck. Not the best of pictures to tell but I would say that your 1922D is a counterfeit which could account for the difference in size. Edited by JimmyD 12/27/2025 3:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19127 Posts	Posted 12/27/2025 5:05 pm I'm thinking counterfeit as well. A full, large and sharp pic of the reverse might shed more light on the matter. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

bgh177 New Member United States 46 Posts	Posted 12/28/2025 12:27 pm If this cent is likely deemed a counterfeit given its profile then I see no sense in wasting anymore time with it, but I do want to thank all of you for taking the time provide your kind responses! Thank you and Happiest New Year! Mike. Report this Post to the Staff
