Not sure if this belongs in the Forum at all, but interesting to me. --Exactly the same diameter of a LMC. --The copper looks "right", as from an old cent. --The 'planchet' is much thinner than a cent, but is convex ("dome shaped"), so it takes up about the same space in a roll as a cent.

LOL It is curious that somebody would make something like that and then somehow it ends up being used for change. I doubt it came from any mint. It is curious. Report this Post to the Staff
Changeless Valued Member 273 Posts	Posted 10/22/2011 6:04 pm I agree. The curious thing is that it looks as if "punched" from sheet metal, is precisely round, and is exactly the diameter of a cent. except for the precise "roundness", the rest of the workmanship is metalshop :) Report this Post to the Staff
