    Acid damaged coin. The weight has been taken down, coin shrunk, and the flow lines exposing striking pressures shown.

    Notice, the coin is well struck. If a lincoln cent was struck on a planchet 60% of the size, the strike would be extremely weak. That is how we can know the coin shrunk and lost weight after the Mint.

    No question.

    Might have been intentionally modified for use a dime.
