<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael E. Smith, post: 2512112, member: 81741&quot;]I recently acquired a thick 1944 Lincoln wheat cent. However it is not a Pollock 2078 Variety as it weighs only 3.24 grams and not 4.09 grams. It is approx. 19 mm in diameter and it thickness ranged from 1.56 - 1.63 mm (compared to 1.50 - 1.54mm on a normal wheat cent). At my coin club meeting we discussed this cent as being extremely similar in weight and size to a 1944 Canadian cent. Did the US mint strike blanks for Canada in 1944? Any information on this would be appreciated. thanks Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
