<p>[QUOTE="Andyp95, post: 1596678, member: 42776"]I am not a collector by any means and my knowledge of coins is limited at best. Found a strange 1945 Wheat Penny in roll of other Wheat's. Here's what is strange: The coin isn't uniform in thickness and difference in thickness is easily detected by touch and site. Ridges on outer edge of coin are also very high. Lastly, most strange to me is that when the coin is dropped on a table from height of 2-3" it has a distinctly different sound as it clangs around than a "normal" coin dropped from same. I took it to a local coin dealer, he looked at it under lens eyepiece and he said that it doesn't appear to have been altered or damaged post mint. Said it is likely some sort of error/misstruck coin but he was unable to say type of error. Any information is appreciated...Andy in Nebraska[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
