Hmmmm what does it weigh?

 

I'll have to see tomarrow

 

That would be unplated. I see many purported examples posted but they usually end up being photos of a normal discolored Zincoln with a poor white balance setting or a coin that had the plating stripped. Refer to this link. http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=87722

 

I don't think it's a Broadstruck out of Collar Cent. We have seen similar Cents posted before. They have most been Post Strike Damage. Altered somehow.

 

Welcome to CoinTalk.
I don't think you can link to a rival coin forum.
Just kidding

 

But am I correct in referring to it ???

 

With the Cent in question I say no. Like I stated we have seen these types of larger and thinner Cents before. Somehow they are alterd. Probably heated causing the difference in color, then pressed to become the way it looks.

 

@FRESHY82
Just look at the distortion of Lincoln's head lol!
It's huge!

 

Oh ok thanks the info I'm still learning ....

 

I used to do this by heating a zinc cent to the point where it just begins to melt and sort of spreads out.

 

I just weighed the coin it weighed nearly 5.0 grams

 

Could also be a fake Cent. Seen them too.

 

There is a mother problem with the heat theory when you heat up zink it turns a gold color.

 

All I know and can tell you is that is not a Mint Error.
Heating up the copper plating a certain way will darken the color also.

 

Done it myself quite few times, never turned gold. Either by heat or other means, the coin is just damaged or fake as stated , no way it can be a mint error.

 

Your probably Wright how come the face didn't distort ad the coin grew

 

It did, Lincoln's bust looks noticeably larger on your coin to me.

 

That what I'm saying why is everything so big and so detailed
