Popular Post EagleRJO Posted August 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2023 Looks like a large date to me also, so another swing and miss. You have better odds hitting the mega lottery.

powermad5000 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) Holy moly! I am seeing a bunch of common Lincoln Memorial cents and a bunch of cheap pocket scale weights that I trust as much as rope with two threads left after all the others snapped and I am supposed to rappel down a cliff with it. There was a "handful" of bronze planchets leftover at the Denver mint during the transition in 1982. Handful meaning five. Only two have been found. It is thought there may have only been two and if there were more they could have suffered a tragic fate of a circulating Lincoln Cent. Either lost and officially swallowed by the earth, thrown in the ocean as a wish, or damaged beyond recognition. I would be highly surprised if a third was ever found. The other thing about the weight is that it is slightly underweight of the 3.11g. The unicorn coin needs to weigh 3.06-3.08g due to the bronze. If your coin does not match what I put in the following photo (which I took off the net with a terrible camera when the discovery was made), then you ain't got nothing but a penny!

Greenstang Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 If this is the same coin you posted earlier, then the answer is the same, it is a Large Date. If it is a different coin, then how do you expect us to form an opinion when we can hardly make out it is even a cent, let alone the date. A closeup of the date is required.

There is nothing that can be said of your photo except that it is a coin on a scale, your photo does nothing to prove your claim when the details of the coin cannot be seen..

Stockwiz78 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Sorry about that community this is a cheap phone that I took the pic from . Included is a close up.

However, since you are convinced that you and you alone are correct it serves no purpose to continue this discussion. Sandon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Neophyte Numismatist Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Sorry @Stockwiz78, this is definitely a large date. @EagleRJO provided all the research for you. Coinbuf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenstang Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) If it is a DD, then show a closeup of where you see doubling. Can’t tell anything from that photo. Also if you crop your photos to the edge, it would help enlarge them. We don’t need to look at all that background.
