As you can see there is no hint of an image on the reverse. Is this post strike damage or possibly from the mint. Thanks for looking and info you can provide. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/02/2016 1:34 pm If it was "metal" showing it should be copper color not a dark gray color. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
NoPoMoCo Valued Member United States 403 Posts	Posted 04/03/2016 04:40 am ...For lack of a better story I have one: This is half of a forgery attempt! Two copper alloy pennies were ground flat and soldered together to make a mule, such as a LWC from the wrong year. This one was for practice or didn't work out, so the forger crudely separated the two halves with a small chisel to destroy the evidence. What's left are a chisel mark, rim damage, residual solder, and perhaps some heat toning. Find the matching LWC and the story's verified! Report this Post to the Staff

NoPoMoCo Valued Member United States 403 Posts	Posted 04/03/2016 11:29 am There it is! Would these likely be soldered together, before the age of super glue? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/03/2016 3:59 pm Probably some form of glue. It would wear off the edge of the coin. Soldier won't and it would make the coin uneven. So some glue is still what I see it as. Report this Post to the Staff
