<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mari 13, post: 125221, member: 5316&quot;]Good Day all!</p><p><br /></p><p>I thought this penny was badly worn when I first looked at it, but was very surprised to see the lack of wear on the reverse. Then I looked at the obverse again, and realized that the coin was &quot;worn&quot; very evenly around the entire edge. It appears to be a weak strike - perhaps struck through grease? or die adjustment? According to what I read on Ken Potter&#039;s site - he&#039;s of the opinion that &#039;a weak strike is a weak strike&#039; and there&#039;s no way of really telling what caused it unless you were standing right there when the coin was struck.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other odd thing is that the copper layer is very thin. It&#039;s hard to tell from the photo, but Lincoln is very shiny, and appears to be almost silver. The rim on this coin is also thicker than a normal penny. Anyone have any comments? (I realize that&#039;s a dangerous question on this site - with so many &#039;wisecrackers&#039; out there <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> )</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for looking - Mari[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
