Thin planchet???

I found a thin 1961-D and compared it with another 1961-D and found it was smaller in diameter (18.6, while a normal is 19) and also smaller in width (1.2, while the norm is 1.6). Would it be a thin planchet (have you heard of such a thing?) or an acid bath?

Does it weigh the same as a dime?

 

im not sure, but i know its not the same diameter as a dime.

 

Definitely very interesting looking, I don't know if it would strike up even that much if it was a thin planchet to start with, but I'm new at this.

yup, plop plop fizz fizz.

 

wouldnt it have an uneven surface if it was acid?

 

not necessarily...it may have been soaking in a mild acid like vinegar for a bit too long....

 

interesting
