<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2428312, member: 66&quot;]I did some rough calculations and beating on a cent to increase the diameter to roughly quarter size (Which is larger than the OP coin) would require the thickness to be reduced to about 75%.&nbsp; Noticeable but not real obvious.&nbsp; Since this one has not been increased in diameter that much the reduction in thickness would be even less.&nbsp; Nickel size results in a thickness of about 90% of normal.&nbsp; Since you really can&#039;t compare the thickness of even two unmolested cents, and we don&#039;t know what the rim thickness was of this cent before it was abused, having the thickness very close to that of a normal cent is not surprising.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
