<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 492261, member: 4350&quot;]Take a close look,&nbsp; those &quot;whatevers&quot;&nbsp; are inconsistent and uneven.&nbsp; To the untrained eye,&nbsp; they may appear even and identical but they are far from it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next,&nbsp; the &quot;whatevers&quot;, visible on the reverse were created by metal that was raised and moved around to the front of the coin.&nbsp; Metal that originally was part of the edge.</p><p><br /></p><p>If they were denticles that were on a coin struck by cent dies,&nbsp; the obverse and reverse would show the same degree of denticles since they would have been on both sides.</p><p><br /></p><p>They don&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>The extra line around the edge of the coin indicates to me that this con was in an encasement.&nbsp; The coin in the encasement was probably effected by wheatever mechanism was used to squeeze the coin and the encasement together as it was being manufactured.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dollars to Donuts,&nbsp; the weight of this damaged coin would fall right in line with what would be expected on a Lincoln cent.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly,&nbsp; look under the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.&nbsp; There appears to be a depression and I suggest that that depression was caused by whatever instrument, hammer or otherwise was used to whack the coin to remove it from an encasement of some sort.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s OK to imagine anything and discuss anything as that is what makes this hobby fun.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The coin though is a clunker, none the less.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Have Fun,</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
