<p>[QUOTE="huntsman53, post: 115659, member: 1242"]Also, could you take a picture of the coin standing on end and next to the other Cent for comparison of thickness? If it is about the same thickness as a normal Cent, then it more than likely was struck on an unplated Zinc planchet. Since the Zinc planchet is much softer without the Copper plating, the Cent spreads out to a larger diameter when struck with the Dies. If the coin is quite a bit thicker than a normal Cent, then it may be a Cent struck on a Nickel planchet. However, the color doesn't look right for a Nickel planchet!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
