...to the seller's credit, returns are accepted, & spurious claim made here was the AI generated description, & claim of "durable" copper...I just thought this was funny ...

...looking at & closely studying the above penny, I believe that the reverse is actually a Gleason's map ... similar maps are used in surveying & aviation ...

..so, my question is, can we use this penny as a map in "Around the World With Coins-A Coin Geography Game ...?

bad lathe job on it.

Yeah no kidding - either the rpm's were to slow or the feed was to slow (or both). Wonder what that black gunk is on it?

Probably grease from a finger or thumb - the dark one seems to have the right shape, and the arc could be from the edge of a thumb.

(Just tossing that out there for thought..)
