<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Barnabus, post: 1930161, member: 71080&quot;]I found a 2005 penny in some change I got this week (A normal one) Weighed it and it came out to 2.3 Grams (That is the good penny) Now for the Suspect penny it came in at 2.1 Grams, and I have come to a few conclusions.</p><p><br /></p><p>All of the writing is flat, near flush, way wider text, and the monument has no Lincoln in it, as well the date is not like that of the 2005 penny that has no issues.</p><p><br /></p><p>If this penny was flattened, then I would expect the penny to be much wider than a normal one, however it is not, it is very small amounts bigger, I mean to the hundredth maybe thousandth&nbsp; of an inch bigger than a normal one.</p><p><br /></p><p>The hair on Lincoln has a &quot;Missing&quot; part where it looks shaded it is just a plan gap, no lowered image, or anything.</p><p><br /></p><p>If this was done by acid it would have pits on it in places, however under a 2x scope I have found no evidence of any pits, nor marks indicating it was hit with like a hammer</p><p><br /></p><p>The sloped edge is within a 10,000th of an inch the same distance all around nearly, and covers up some of the words half way.</p><p><br /></p><p>The copper is nearly all gone from the zinc, and I am assuming that&#039;s the .2 grams</p><p><br /></p><p>The T in the &quot;One Cent&quot; does not have the hanging tips, instead it is just a straight line.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do not believe this is a dryer coin, nor a victim of acid, I am not certain it is an error though, I am investigating more into this, but I have little to no way of knowing anything about this coin because the other two similar ones I found online all got the same answer &quot;EH probably a dryer coin&quot; which is in my opinion a great way of saying, &quot;No clue&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>If you can help me to figure this one out please post. Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
