[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 3316770, member: 77814"]you can stick a dime planchet in a cent machine because it is slightly smaller and will fit - 17.9mm vs 19mm diameter and 1.35 thick vs 1.52. [url]https://www.usmint.gov/learn/coin-and-medal-programs/coin-specifications[/url] But you'll have certain indications of thickness, visual appearance, etc which are not evident at all on his cent. Thus my unanswered questions .. reread them. If someone wants to ignore certain comparisons then just hold a dime and cent next to each other and look at the color, thickness, width. Then think of what happens if a dime is smashed down to make it as wide as a cent. The cent image though, the die is not going to make itself smaller so that everything shows perfectly on a much smaller dime so it smooshes it a bit thinner, right?. Look at his cent. What is the composition? is it copper or more of the silvery dime composition (which is mostly copper but more nickel in it? Does it look like an incomplete cent due to the dime planchet? and his penny is a 1984 .. that's a zincoln ... it looks like one too with bad environmental damage.
