<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Evan8, post: 3340353, member: 74343&quot;]I just received a wonderful off center strike 1920 Lincoln Wheat cent for my off center collection. The seller it came from believed that it was struck on a foreign planchet that NGC did not attribute. An Argentinean 10 centavos to be exact. I&#039;m curious about the weight of the coin, eventhough an Argentinean 10 centavos weighs 3.0 grams and the Lincoln is supposed to weigh 3.11. Still curious though. Anyone by some chance know the weight of a gen 17 NGC holder with a small cent insert? I&#039;d try to figure it out myself but my only other gen 17 with a cent is an off center struck Flying Eagle and I doubt its weight is right either.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the coin.
