SAAP Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I found this 1919 s wheat cent, apparently struck in another blank, it is slightly thinner and weights 2.59 grams, - I do not think the weight relates to the wear, I had seen worse and the weight does not go that low, instead i believe it relates to the thickness of the coin missing some lettering and a number , I made some comparison to others and switch scales to be sure , please see the pictures and comment with your opinion. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinbuf Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Welcome to the forum, this section of the forum is for members selling and buying coins, questions should be asked in the Newbie or US coin sections of the forum; I have flagged it for the mods to move this thread to the appropriate area. The most likely explanation is an end of roll blank which can result in a thin underweight planchet to start with. Then add in the wear and tear and any other abuse this might have happened in the past 100+ years and the low weight seems quite possible.
