<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 2578892, member: 21705&quot;]I am going to check the weight, but it&#039;s definitely not the old standard. But it might not be the new standard either. I could swear there are small letters that look like New York on the edge, but they are much smaller than the old lettering. one of the plain edge thicker planchets is on a non standard planchet weighing 196.8 grains according to Breen who also mentioned seeing the variety struck on another cent, size 19 and being 1/16th wider than normal. The NC-2s were struck on TAL tokens about this same time, so the mystery isn&#039;t solved yet.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Jeffersons also are reported to have at least three different edge lettering devices so it could be almost anything. I wish it were just a tad sharper.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also got a Large Cent (called S-74/75) which appears to be struck on a TAL with the reverse side bleeding through the obverse (the flip of the two NC-2s) but the obverse appears more like the S-78 to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is fun.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
