It starts out the size of a dime and then is struck again by the cent dies in a collar that does not restrict further diameter expansion.&nbsp; And from the images the coin is smaller than a cent and the rim is missing above Lincoln&#039;s head.&nbsp; It looks genuine to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
