In order for it to have reeds and be authentic, it would have to be 90% silver and struck on a struck dime. I see no signs of the dime undertype and it doesn't look silver.
When I began collecting in the 60,S, these shaved cents were common. A dime coke for a penny was cheap for many.
This is the real deal! I want to share this webpage with you http://www.coinfacts.com/error_coins/mules/1999_cent_dime_mule.htm
Hi. Responding again to an old thread Could of been machined. Or the Cent ground down much thinner than the Dime. Got it?
There is a reason I responded to this old thread. HULLCOINS knows why. It's a private matter. Nothing bad.
