No, I did not take the penny apart. I used a computer program to cut and rotate the portion in question. The odd part is that I had to rotate and also flip the front image while only rotating the back image. If it were the same peace (front and back) you would only have to rotate and not flip it. See what I mean?

Clarification, I had to use a photo under a microscope and a program due to the fact that I can not move the real object since it is so tightly bonded. I guess this not a trick coin.

 Looks like you've already "tricked" some others. Going back to your first post it only seems you'd have to rotate the center to make it align. But, the rotation would be in opposite directions for each side. That would make sense for a coin. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

OK, guys this penny has been with me for 40 years and I am not in the habit of tricking anyone. I just thought it would be interesting if any one of you knowledgeable persons would give me a little insight into this penny. That said I bid you all farewell. It has been a privilege to have been on this site.

I apologize, but I thought it humorous that others thought you actually altered the coin. It's obvious from the top of the new reverse pic that it is digitally edited and I know why you did it. No harm. What I was thinking looking at your original pics: the reverse center would have to be rotated counter clockwise about 135-140° and it seems to correspond to rotating the obverse approximately the same but clockwise (doesn't have to be the same degree because of any slight die rotation). That would all be completely natural if the center of another cent was used to plug a hole in this one and rotated incorrectly. I don't believe you are trying to trick anyone. Editing photos for examples or comparisons is done all the time here.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

For a tight fit, you would need two coins. Drill a hole in the first coin and bore out a plug from the second coin to a diameter equal to that of the hole in the first coin. Place the plug over the hole and whack it with a rubber mallet

Good morning Carl, no harm done. I value and respect your opinions. Bio, why would any one in his right mind take the time and effort to alter a penny that way? Drill a hole and make two plugs that fit exactly with no play or excess material? If you notice it is not in the exact center, it would take know how to do it.

Your two topics about the 1965 Cent have been combined. In the future, please keep to only one thread for one coin so the pictures and discussions stay related. We can edit the title to reflect updated pictures. |

While searching, trying to figure out why someone would do this to a cent, I ran across this thread from a couple of years ago: http://goccf.com/t/246189I'm still working on it....  |

The "plug and ring" setup has been seen here a few times-
