<p>[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 7341941, member: 105098"]I'm still at the same place I was last year on this, it's a 1919S I believe, it's well circulated, and it may have been an overweight planchet when it was uncirculated but now weight is at the high end of tolerance. I don't see anything out of the ordinary to suggest it is a foreign planchet, just possible that it was a rolled thick planchet maybe from the start or end of the strip, that has since worn down to near tolerance, methods of planchet making were more primitive 102 years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/1919-s-lincoln-3-25g.367868/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/1919-s-lincoln-3-25g.367868/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/1919-s-lincoln-3-25g.367868/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>wear can be uneven from obverse to reverse, lets say it spends some time on a knock hockey table as a puck, or someone caries it for a while as a lucky cent and rubs one side, or it stays one side up in an abused collection with a kids touchy hands for a few years, or to shim something. most times they do wear evenly but there's cases where one side sees more wear than the other it's not extremely unusual. heck someone might have smacked the obverse with a hammer at some point.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
