D. Lincoln shield penny??? 18mm across 0.080 oz or 2.3 g .9 mm in thickness (For reference i also weighed multiple cents and dimes Cents- 19mm/0.085oz or 2.5g 1.1mm thickness Dimes- 17mm/0.075oz 2.2g/ 1.1mm thickness ) The measurements make me think wrong planchet?? On the unmarked front side You can just barely see what looks like the shadow of BERTY but if you feel it actually it is pressed into the coin instead of being raised above it like normal. I hope that clarifies the pictures. Thank you for any information and for your time.
