highway through Colo Springs. There were several that were THINNER then normal, obviously someone got them in change, lost them on the lot, and I found ALL OF THEM. Never saw THIN PENNIES before!!!
Probably none of you have seen them EITHER. Well now you have seen them here!!!!!!!!
Oh, I found a 1955 Lincoln with the LAST 5 "double shifted", not the entire date though, just the last 5 of the date. Probably when it started THE shifting that doubled the date.... RARE??? I showed it to the
cureator at the American Numismatic Assn museum, he never knew only ONE existed. Said he never knew of any with just one 5 shifted before... Now on the photo of the THIN pennies, they are of 1952 and of 1953, and I found 3 of them that day metal detecting. They are thin planchets, and the stamping on them is thin stamping as well. That was in 2018 back then that I found them...No rim at all or just a trace of the rim on the three coins... I guess they were
TOO THIN for the DIE to do a clear stamping on the 3 pennies. RARE??? I think so that they are rare too... i got the 55 Lincoln in a roll of pennies, as I used to go looking for small dates and large dates pennies. Got lots of those
small and large dates pennies back during those times too...
