I opened a few cent rolls last night, and found a 1994-D that looked uncirculated. I usually set those aside at least for a while, and either keep them or toss them back. But something was different about this one. The rim was deep and pronounced around both the front and the back. I stacked it next to a 2013 cent, and it looks to be almost 50% thicker. I thought maybe it was a proof of some sort, but proofs are all S mint.

Is this just an anomaly within the range of normal? Or was the thickness specification different then, and this is just a truly uncirculated coin that hasn't seen any rim wear? I just didn't know what to make of it, so I thought I'd ask here.

Wow yours looks great. I would have to say my raised-edge Franklin is a fake, but it almost fits in a quarter roll.

I've got some clad dimes like that I got in the reject tray while doing a dump. I wasn't sure what they were so I hung on to them. I'll try to post apic later tonight.
 

Gratz you now have your oily dirty fingerprints all over it =P

I'm sure you know what happended here FFD, but just in case... Someone began to make a ring out of that coin, and for whatever reason, stopped.
