Ok, found this Jefferson in change... it has higher than normal rims, it's slightly smaller than a normal Jefferson, and slightly thicker, I've balanced it on a ruler, and it appears to be the same weight... the design itself is weakly struck, and b/c of the slightly smaller diameter, the legend around the rims on both sides are merged into the rims, the date is somewhat visible as a 1981-P, the upper loop of the 8 is actually on top of the rim... though it may be a 1987... I'm not sure, butit appears to be a 1... there doesn't appear to be any luster breaks, though it is pretty scratched up... the legend is also pretty flat, and no where close to being sharp. The P just looks like a blob int he shape on a P... the reverse is in similar condition, weak strike, MONTICELL and FIVE CENTS are barely legible, the fields, luster and legend, are in similar condition as the front... below are pics, I took scans of the coin alone, and the coin with a normal Jefferson next to it... I tried to get a scan that showed the difference in thickness, but it didn't work right.... oh well, here's the pictures... comments greatly appreciated! Thank you!
