    Everything seems thicker and not a sharply struck, if that's what your looking at.

    Yes all the numbers and letters seem fat and it's really red. It does weigh 3.11 grams. It also has that little green spot in front of the nose. I don't know? I'm new to this.

    That pretty much looks like most cents from the 60's. They had a deeper, sculptured look to them.

    Looks like it was mechanically polished, PMD.
