<p>[QUOTE="muchinlove, post: 277504, member: 7377"]I found a 1962 cent that felt differnt in my hand. It is considerable lighter then other cents. When I set it on top of another cent it is smaller in diameter (not much but smaller) The face has a interesting orange peel kind of feel and look. The rim has lines like a dime that have been worn away with time. the thickness is quite a bit thinner as well. When it falls on a table it makes a different sound than a regular cent. All of this makes me think it is on the wrong meta or that the image was pressed onto foreign coin stock. I don't know any of the correct terms for some of the things that I am describing but I hope that this is enough for someone to help me solve this mystery of what happened to this coin. If you would like a picture from a different vantage or if any other information would help let me know and I will try to get it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for any help that can be given</p><p>Picture 1 is a general picture of the coin</p><p>Picture 2 is showing how thick the coin is</p><p>Picture 3 is showing the texture on the rim</p><p>Picture 4 is a color and texture comparison of another cent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

Thanks for any help that can be given Picture 1 is a general picture of the coin Picture 2 is showing how thick the coin is Picture 3 is showing the texture on the rim Picture 4 is a color and texture comparison of another cent.[/QUOTE]
