<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 62490, member: 1242&quot;]GDJMSP,</p><p><br /></p><p>From everything that I have read on the 1944-P &quot;Thick Planchet&quot; Lincoln Cents, the verdict is still out on what they actually are (a cent struck on an experimental planchet, a cent struck on a foreign coin planchet, a matte proof, etc.)! As far as I can determine, no one (to this Date) has proved that these cents were struck on foreign coin planchets and statements to this are only supposition or theory. There were/are no known foreign coin planchets of this thickness used by the U.S. Mints in 1944. Judd was the first to note that these were struck on experimental planchets but later removed the statement from his book. Not being able to prove that these cents were struck on foreign coin planchets and since the Mints&#039; records did not shed any light on why that these thick planchets existed in 1944, Pollock also designated these as being struck on experimental planchets with his number designation of 2078. As most professionals consider these cents rare, they apparently have not even undertaken the task to find out what many of these thick planchets are made of (their&#039; composition).</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have or know of any reference material (books, articles, etc.) that prove that these cents were struck on foreign coin planchets, please let me and everyone else know. I am always looking for the truth but until then, I will hold to dreams that my 1944-P Lincoln Cent is one of a very few and very unique coins!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
