<p>[QUOTE="RoseWesche, post: 5162313, member: 95896"]I’ve done some research and I know that a weak strike can produce a coin that looks like these. And I know that a person who is bored can spend time grinding and buffing a coin to get this same effect. I don’t have weights but I do have measurements. The penny is 17.22mm in diameter and 1.01mm thick. The nickel is 20.96mm in diameter and 1.25mm thick. And the quarter is 21.68mm in diameter and 1.37mm thick. The penny and quarter are quite a bit smaller than should be. The nickel however is close enough that makes me wonder if it could be a weak strike on a thin planchet. Any help is greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
