Take a look at this Indian Cent

The one on the left. Weak strike? The left one looks thinner also but oddly weights 3.1 gr. vs 3.0 gr for the "normal strike" on the right.
looks like collar missing during strike, or? Just curious. Thanks!

    looks like it might have been taken out of one of those "lucky penny" encased coin holders. when you take coins out of those holders they will have flattened out rims like that.

    Maybe it's my eyes, or my long absence, but the one on the left looks cast.

    the one on the left looks flattened out like it was run over by a steamroller
    like the designs were pressed into the fields

    Thanks Rick. Prompted by finding out one of my 9-yr-old's teammates in LL is a YN.
