This is a 1955 Cent struck on a Tapered Planchet. It weighs 2.62 grams instead of the normal 3.11 grams. Note the thin areas on the edge with missing design elements and rim.

Jerry suggested this entry be added to the glossary and donated his great photos. I will add this as soon as I write up a suitable definition. Thanks Jerry, and great coin!
It would be great if more of us used this sub-forum in this way, to post examples of terms not yet included in the glossary. This is how we, as a community, can continue to grow our resource here. Don't be shy. Great job, Jerry.Last edited by willbrooks; 08-27-2014, 05:54 AM.All opinions expressed are not necessarily shared by willbrooks or his affiliates.
