With that being said I have a bunch of coins I thought about getting graded and even more coins I’m iffy and not so sure about so, I figured I would ask you for your opinion since I’m pretty sure everyone here is more experienced than I ever will be. I’m learning as I go so it would help a lot if somebody could tell me what’s wrong with the coin so next time around when I see it I know right away and don’t waste time staring at for hours. </p><p><br /></p><p>I keep all of my wheat Penny’s found in circulation nicely organized. Majority is pretty beat up with some in pretty good condition. I have this 1910 wheat penny that’s very hard to read with a naked eye and the only way I could see anything was when I either took a picture of the coin or used a magnifying microscope. I put the coin on the scale and it said it weighed 2.93g. The picture doesn’t show the coin’s true color as it is more red in person. So my question is would it be possible the coin was struck on a wrong planchet or environmental damage and over the years wear could cause the coin to weigh less than it should?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
