So today I walked in our Local Coin/Jewelry Pawn Shop knowing I was gonna grab a bag of Supposedly Unsearched WHEATS what I didn’t know is that I’d FIND what happens to be a Mind Boggler for Me(NEWBIE) Can I PLEASE GET SOME INSIGHT AND INPUTS ON THIS COIN MY FELLOW COIN COLLECTORS First 3 Photos are of 3 other 1919s I found in this Bag as Well from the 4th Photo on are the CENT IN QUESTION! Thanks in advanced and Hope you all are Having a GREAT NIGHT
TOO many CAPS! That being said, looks like your coin was ground down to perhaps imitate a dime in a vending machine. Pretty common.
i say the .5 grams have been worn away. Also it seems to be a bit smaller like the rim was worn off as well.
That really was My First Thought cause it Is Pretty Smooth and Does Look like it was altered! I just had to get some input! Thanks Guys!
The scale says 2.95 which is close enough to tolerance. 2.98-3.24 considering how old and worn it is.
The first two scale photos show normal coins, I assume. The third shows a cent measuring 2.53g, and it's clearly had its rim shaved.
