Well I am still having problems with resizing the cent so I am just going to take pics of it with a lesser quality on my camera and maybe that will do the trick. Here is the thing about heating the cent.  My cent, 1992 was made after they converted to zink.  So, its not as if they took a 1982 cent and heated it to stretch it out cause the metal is not zink.  If you take a 1992 cent, stretch it out by 1/8th and drop it..its still going to be zink. This cent is NOT zink.  I have dropped it for several people now.  Some say its steel, some others say its nickle without the shininess, others say looks just like the 1943 steel cent. So, I dropped the 1992 cent and then a 1992 zink cent.  Everyone says..different metal.  I will get a 1943 cent and drop it and see what happens. As for the strike, I took a pic with my Cannon 8 Meg pix camera.  The Strike is PERFECT right down to the hands of Lincoln sitting on the chair in the center of the coin.  The "thickness" of the cent is uniform all the way around.  There is no warping, no "stretching" of the design. So to alter the size will warp the image, but please explain how this would alter the composition if the metal.[/QUOTE]
