Paper Thin Cent

^yup need to see the edge. Neat toning too. Wonder what is was protected by...very straight edge. And some struck through stuff going on on the reverse?

Unfortunately I dont have a scale. Ill take a picture of the edge after I'm done golfing. I got to golf in the league tonight.

It could not be split as both obv. and rev. are plainly sruck
and visible. If it is indeed super thin it would most likely
have to be an error on the stock roll that was then punched
for the blanks. Then in turn made into a planchet and then
the coin. Shows no evidence of PMD causing the thinness if indeed it is very thin. It could be called a planchet error
but then it could be called a stock error or blank error. Adding the proper description for either or ?
Surprising how the roll of stock would of gotten past Q.C.
in the first place but ? But then I may be wrong. I was wrong
once ---------------- "Just Once"

Smashing down the rims can make the coin appear thinner. The rims keep the coin from wearing off the devices as fast. If the setup make the rim taller, then it would appear to ge a thicker planchet, when it really isn't thicker, just the rim is taller. The weight would be the same for a flattened rim or a rim that is taller. The planchet weight remains the same unless the planchet had split or the stock material was rolled thin, then it would be lighter.

Is their a date over date. On my screen I see another 8 between the 9 & 8. Slightly tilted 12:30 to 6:30. I also can kinda make out another 1 and 9 tilted in same fashion. IDK. Does anyone else see it.

I guess it is a 1958, not a 1956. Here are a couple of photos along side a regular wheat.

Thanks coop! There is lots of interesting stuff in here. I was pretty excited to see the 1914-D until I took a photo and got a really good look at it. I'll let you be the judge on this one.
