    Wrong Sized Blank Used in 54 D Lincoln Cent

    I've found a 1954 D Lincoln cent created with a blank that was not the correct size. The normal penny has a 19mm overall diameter and a 1.5mm overall thickness. This penny caught my immediate attention as it was extremely thin. It measures 18mm in diameter and .5mm thick. It has not been ground in any fashion, the details are all present, but the outer rim is missing completely.

    I also located a 1914 Lincoln where the measurements appear incorrect. This one is 18mm in diameter and 1mm in thick.

    Can anyone direct me to any references to any similar error?

    In my opinion, it would have helped if we had full obverse and reverse photos of a coin. Coneca staff usually tells us one coin per post. It helps cut down on confusion and makes searches more accurate.

    60 pages of data. Match the year, with the mint that produced the coin, then worry about size and weight.
