<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tomcat, post: 2410305, member: 72123&quot;]I have a 1988 Lincoln penny that is the size of a nickel. When I came across this coin, I thought it was a nickel, but it is thinner. It appears to be exactly the same diameter as a nickel. It is a bit thinner than a normal penny also. It appears to be copper, but hard to tell, the reverse has corrosion. It almost looks like a steel penny but a magnet will not stick to it. It also has a different sound when handling it or putting in down on a hard surface.

I scanned it with a nickel and a normal penny for comparison. Any idea what this is? Is it rare?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
