The traditional method is hammering the cent between pieces of (usually) leather. However, another instance of cents with larger-than-normal diameters is now commonly seen on cents that have had their plating removed. Whatever methods are being used to strip the plating, most of which involve exposure to chemicals and heat, are leaving the resulting zinc core thinner with an expanded diameter. Below is an example of one of these stripped cents.</p><p><a href="http://lincolncentforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/texascent1.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://lincolncentforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/texascent1.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://lincolncentforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/texascent1-150x150.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a><a href="http://lincolncentforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/texascents2.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://lincolncentforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/texascents2.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://lincolncentforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/texascents2-150x150.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
