NorCalUSA91 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 01/17/2013 12:25 am Hello, can anyone tell me about this coin I acquired and what causes it to look like this. Its a 1954 S Wheat penny, but there are like three edges on the reverse. The front looks like some coin material from another coin was struck and had been forced to wrap around it. This penny is actually almost the exact size of a quarter. Its the inner ring on the reverse that is the diameter of a regular penny. Could this coin be valuable?

You can confirm this by weighing the coin, I am guessing that the weight will be about double that of a normal cent. Of course, who ever added it also did considerable damage to the coin as well Report this Post to the Staff
Pokeplayer101 Valued Member United States 50 Posts	Posted 01/17/2013 9:27 pm This is not a Error coin. If it was then the outer would not be a perfect circle and the wheatie would not look like that. So there would have to be 2 or 3 of them together. Report this Post to the Staff
