I see nothing in the photos indicating lamination. I do see evidence of forceful sliding on a rough surface. Maybe someone decided to see if they...
Better do so BEFORE bidding then.
Quite possible. I read somewhere that old mint workers said the zinc plating caused a lot of dust in 43 as the pressure needed for the steel core...
It doesn't appear to be from what I can see. It is difficult to take photos of edges close up.
Richard, check to see if it has been replated. If original, on the edge the center core of steel will appear rather dull compared to the obv and...
I think the reason for lack of PL grading for copper coins, is that silver and nickel have a much more reflective surfaces, most because of the...
I do not believe so. It appears that the edges are chamfered ( rounded) for circulation rather than the sharp right angles of a proof. They also...

IVO, are you referring to the list that occurs on the right side of the page that says recent topics? That is the "newest posts" listing. when...
There were approximately 500,000,000 cents made at that mint , that year. Less than 50 have been found in total , and most were found before 1972,...
Any premium would be determined by the relative amount off tolerance.
They seem to give the impression it was attracted onto the bronze coin ( never seen a magnetic one ) during the strike. Yeah ...right.....
Post a photo of the coin on the scale also please. Jim
But you are not measuring things in that range. For that calibrate it with a .10 or .05 gram weight since the difference you are talking about is...
Zincoln can be between 2.40-2.60 grams. Inexpensive digital scales have calibration woes and rounding off that sometimes faulty. Use a known...
