<p>[QUOTE=&quot;10gary22, post: 1020379, member: 23626&quot;]I am not anywhere near an expert, but I do search boxes and boxes of cents. I have found several with thick rims. Some as thick as a 5c piece. I believe that when the cuts are rolled, that some roll out with a heavier rim. The diameters seem the same as a normal coin, which I would not expect if hammered, spooned or in a clothes dryer. Many of these coins also exhibit a very strong strike.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>While I don&#039;t think these are errors or have any added value, I think they were minted that way. As we also see some that are thinner, I expect your coin was made from a metal strip that was to the widest side of specifications, the cut rolled to produce the thick rim then stamped.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The doubling you see is caused by the stamping machine and not true doubling.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As I stated, this comes only from my personal obversations and has no support other than my opinion.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>gary[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
