Can you see how thick the 1965 Lincoln Memorial Cent compared to the 1964 Lincoln Memorial Cent beside it

 

It was fed too much?

It was struck on a thick planchet. Sometimes sheets of copper were not rolled enough to meet the proper thickness requirement and then cut into thicker blanks.

I want to share this webpage with you

Thank you could you please tell me if it has any value again thank you and have great Memorial weekend

 

does it have a value of more than $0.02

 

I personally don't think it would demand any hugh premium. I have seen them go for $2 or $3 dollars. It has to be much thicker for it to be desirable.
IMHO

 

Ty, I ask you one more question about another Lincoln Memorial Cent that I have could you tell me if this is a open am or a close am thank you

 

I apologise I meant to say this is a 1996 no mint Lincoln Memorial

 

I'm not a variety collector. I Don't care much for WAM's and CAM's
No mint mark means it was minted in Philadelphia.

 

Ok ty
