<p>[QUOTE=&quot;avid.collector, post: 1553787, member: 40440&quot;]I recently ran into a couple copper planchets that were never struck.&nbsp; They weigh 3.10 and 3.08 grams so I know these are pre-82 planchets.&nbsp; They already have a rim around the edge, but the strange thing is they are thinner than a finished Lincoln cent.&nbsp; Whether I put them on the table or hold them together and check through the loupe, the thickness is definitely different.</p><p><br /></p><p>Are they normally like this until struck and then the rim gets thicker or are these planchets for something other than a Lincoln cent?&nbsp; They are the same diameter as a cent piece with the same weight, which led me to believe they were unstruck Lincolns.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
