No charge for the small lint. Love the color. Very unusual coin. Hope these help. Thanks   |

this one looks quite odd for the date, any chance it is not genuine?

The thinned devices look like the die was over polished, the thicker devices (EPU) looks like filled with grease, the Date is showing Machine Doubling. So I feel it a legit coin. Just die and striking issues. I feel it is wouldn't add a premium for the coin, but more of a distraction that anything to me. (Weight is still in tolerance.  (+/- .12 grams) Edited by coop

Looking at this again, it looks like a half woody coin. From K10 to K4 on the obverse and weaker in the same area on the reverse. The striations seem to be in the same direction on both sides.

I was thinking the same thing.. Don't know why anyone would want to duplicate a 1917 penny. It sure looks good to the naked eye, but under the scope it gets strange. I've had the penny for over 40 years. I'm just going to consider it an unusually nice old penny.. These old pennies can get fascinating . Thanks

The "streaks" behind his head remind me of an improperly mixed planchet.
What the diameter is from K10 to K4?
There seems to be more distance between UST (TRUST) and the rim than normal, similar to the effect from a broad strike. And even the rim seems weak @ K2 to K5 on the obv.

A dime fits exactly in the "cup" on the coin. All outer letters are stamped on the "slant" causing them to look blurred. Wow..did I just say that? Anyway..Thanks again for your replies.. On to the next box of pennies.

Unless your box is full of UK coins, there are no "pennies" therein. In the US they are known as CENTS.  |

https://www.usmint.gov/coins/coin-m...-coins/pennyUnless, of course, you are the US Mint. Then it's a penny (at least it is when you call it that 12 times on just one page of your web site). Call it whichever makes you happy, everyone knows exactly what you're referring to either way.

Read the back of the coin. It says "cent" not penny. |

Actually, it says "One Cent", which is the value, not the name. If that were determinative of the name, why do we call it a Nickel?  I'm just pointing out that if US Mint uses the term "Penny" to describe the item, why correct another hobbyist when they do the same thing? |

Because it is best to use correct terminology. |

It starkly reminds me of a "Tapered Planchet". My educated guess. I like the looks of it.
