<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 110077, member: 4552"]This is strange. You say it's thinner than a normal cent and thicker than a dime but weighs the same as a cent. Strange. Of course the weight depends on what you used to weigh the coin. If just a slightly inacurate scale, the wight difference would not be noticeable. However, with a normal balance scale, again the weight would depend on the other coins wear and date. You must remember that the Lincoln Cent has had it's composition changed over the years several times. so you should use a similar 2000 date cent if comparing. Still something is strange about it's size. If it is some kind of counterfeit, someone sure needs a life. However, regardless of what it is, I wouldn't try cleaning it since it just may be some kind of Mint problem. You may want to contact coppercoins.com for a possible solution.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
