<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 3786997, member: 66"]For one thing it is what is commonly referred to as a dryer coin. Key identification is the wide rims rolled in over the lettering close to the rim. The wear and friction as this occurs removes the copper plating on the rims exposing the zinc. Most likely it is slightly smaller in diameter. If it was struck on a dime planchet the planchet, being smaller than the cent, would not show rims and the details of the cent would extend to and possibly past the edge of the planchet.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry, I'm not Fred, but I am sure he would agree with me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
