sn31 Pillar of the Community United States 773 Posts	Posted 05/09/2006 11:52 pm I have this penny,and I have been having troubles getting photos posted,so I'm going to describe this the best I can.The edges come out further than the actual penny,almost like a wagon wheel.It seems to been made this way.Is this common for this year.I also have a 2000 Lincoln Cent that comes up in the middle as if pushed up from the other side,but no scratches or marks to indicate damage.what do you think?thanks.sn31.

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 05/10/2006 3:47 pm The 1941 cent I cant say without pics,, I'm having trouble visualising it in my mind. the 2000 cent ,, Its possible that the cent has trapped gas inside, most of the time these would be small bubbles that will overtime erupt and leave a hole exposing the zinc which then turns into an ugly ulcer of corroding zinc. I have seen cents with larger bubbles of trapped gas, I cant say emphatically that this is what you have but its a possibility. Rick Report this Post to the Staff
sn31 Pillar of the Community United States 773 Posts	Posted 05/10/2006 7:17 pm thanks for the input.I'm not real good when it comes to description,but the 1941,it's like the edges have not been trimmed off around the cicle of the coin on both sides.sn31. Report this Post to the Staff
Joeyuk Valued Member United States 383 Posts	Posted 05/10/2006 9:01 pm Perhaps excessive die pressure caused " finning" of the rims? Report this Post to the Staff
