Okay so I'm coin roll hunting and I find a 19 something 6 Lincoln cent weigh it it's 3.11 grams I can't see the third number I've been looking up the designers initials on the back to see when it changed transitional if you can tell me what FG this is I might be able to see what the date is or get closer to what it might be it weighs 3.1 grams so I don't want to throw it back yet
Oh boy... Considering the bad condition your Cent is in, it really doesn't matter what number it is.. Just get rid of it
In 1989 is the year that the mint changed the designer's initials. Prior to 1989 the vertical portion of the G had no serif. Looked like a stick. 1989 minted coins had a serif at the top of the vertical stroke of G.
Yes u are correct i figured it out also took forever but thats how i learn thanks for looking happy 4th
Looks like it was in a flood which contained waste material. have fun cleaning it. I have a bunch that were like that.
