<p>[QUOTE=&quot;timwhite52, post: 1435491, member: 37933&quot;]Greeting all, facinating site, some really great reads.&nbsp; I have nothing to do with coins, know nothing about them but my boy found this one today and was wondering what it was.&nbsp; We took it as a homeschool lesson so we took some pics and are asking what is up with this one.</p><p><br /></p><p>The penny is a 1962 (no little letter under the date) and is no where near as thick as a regular penny, there is just barely an edge rim on the bottom portion, the edges do not look like they are worn or if it is it is even all around.&nbsp; The whole thing can fit neatly inside the rim of a regular penny, but like I said it is only about a third the thickness.</p><p><br /></p><p>The back has a weird dimpled surface, and the letters look like they have a shadow of a double strike.&nbsp; One post said that the thinness was probably due to &quot;acid&quot;, but I have the same question my kid did, why then did is dissolve so evenly all over, wouldn&#039;t it have little pock marks like chicken pox or something?</p><p><br /></p><p>I am posting pics, sorry for the color and focus, and also for not having a scale to give you a weight.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not looking to make a million, we are just interested in the penny and learning a bit more than we know at the moment (which shouldn&#039;t be hard considering the lack of knowledge we have.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Appreciate any feedback.</p><p>Tim</p><p>[ATTACH]175943.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]175944.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]175945.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
