That is really strange. Can you see any of the date around the hole?

I am thinking a pie crimper as well.
My Grandmother had a little tool that looked a lot like that one.
But not with a coin. Very cool find!

First off large cents were often used as ic they were simple copper discs as the foundation of an improvised tool.
Second when they were pulled out of circulation (post 1857) they were sold to scrap dealers as copper by the barrel.
The Penny Lady, Charmy, had an article in the Numismatist last year on these. And a wonderful exhibit if you happened to catch it.

You usually see just the coin. Finding the entire tool is much tougher. Somewhere out the there is one made from a 1793. I've seen pictures of it but it was a LONG time ago.

Someone told me of these today, and they are apparently not quite as rare as he suggested. I am seeing some pictures of them out there but otherwise not a lot of info. Can anybody give me suggestions on where to look as well as the sort of price range to expect on these?

Using dough to fashion dough .... makes cents to me .... practical, as opposed to being a half-baked device. IMHO, the OP's example is the most desirable one I've seen. I can envision one like it selling for $100 or thereabouts. While not particularly rare, these crimper coins are more often found detached from their handle. Here's mine ....   Anyone got a 1793 crimper?  Edited by ExoGuy
