shaunapiranha New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 03/11/2014 01:15 am I was going through some change of my dads, from the early 1900's, when I came across a 1916 Penny. It is pretty beat up, but has odd indention's that are on both side of coin. It is a misprint, not done by something gripping it. What can anyone tell me about it. Report this Post to the Staff

You can also see how the metal was pushed inwards and than warn away. Feel free to call me Will. Report this Post to the Staff
