1993 Experimental Lincoln cent?

Send it to me. I'll hold it for a while and give you an unbiased opinion.
Or send it to Wexler or Diamond for their opinion.
But I'm afraid that no matter whose opinion you might get, it'll certainly be wrong.

Hey thanks

 

Told you so!

Here's my experimental cent:


How do you like that toning?

 

Trust me, I know what your saying is more than likely true but dont flood these forums with Edited~ Language rules/ Please read , symbols to fill unacceptable words, is not allowed.

 

right back at ya.

 

Testing specific gravity/density can be done as here:

But if requires a good scale and a measuring set up. If it isn't a pure metal or a well known alloy, it is difficult to show anything as proof of %, but comparison with a regular cent of that year could show if it is normal metal consistency as far as %.

 

No.. in actuality the double LL in the Spanish language is pronounced like the letter Y.. so it's actually ONE DOYER

 

Bye, mikeycoin.

 

The weight of a normal cent coin (zincoln...or whatever) is 2.500 g. Your coin doesn't appear to be anything more than a well struck cent. First step (after you have absorbed - with good grace - the abuse here) would be to take it to a coin shop (or more than one) and get the opinion of someone who deals with coins on a daily basis and can see it in-hand. Actually you have the good wishes of all here that you have something REALLY different.

 

Speak for yourself.

Appears to be a scarce PL cent (proof-like). I have a few modern Zincolns that look like proofs. Other than that, based on the weight and pictures, this is a normal cent.

 

Never quite thought of it that way.

 

It's difficult to judge a coin by a photo but my best guess is that it's a mint set coin struck on a burnished planchet.

 

You're right. It does sound nuts.
