OrDirtDevil Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 03/18/2008 12:43 am Like to know if anyone can help with these two wheats. Both seem to be broadstrikes but I don't know that much about them. Are there any values to them and are they actually broadstrikes?

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 03/18/2008 01:25 am The indented rim on these coins suggests to me they were pressed into a larger object, such as the "Lucky Penny" keepsake holders. I'm sure you'll hear more qualified opinions eventually. Edited by KurtS 03/18/2008 01:26 am Report this Post to the Staff

OrDirtDevil Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 03/18/2008 2:19 pm You maybe right, but I have maybe 4-5 of the lucky coin holders both horseshoe and fourleaf clover. None of them appear to have any damage on them from being pressed in. I also cannot see why so much force is needed to extract one as they will pop out with some finger force. The other things is, why on both sides. Why Not just one to get a coin out. Just some observations and curiousity. Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 03/18/2008 2:31 pm "None of them appear to have any damage on them from being pressed in." While I don't have any "lucky penny" holders, I've seen pennies both inside and outside holders. The damage isn't always apparent until the coin is removed. This is a particularly sad subject for me because I have what appears to be a trial or off-metal strike of an Indian Head cent--but severely damaged by one of these holders. I thought it was broadstruck at first too. Edited by KurtS 03/18/2008 2:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 03/18/2008 5:08 pm Those are indeed, as diagnosed by almost everyone:-) Coins that were encased and then removed from the encasements. They could have been lucky pieces, Encased Coins or part of old key chains. In any case. They are nothing more than that. Definitely not any kind of broadstrike. You can even see the damage to the tops of the letters on one of the coins. Thanks,Bill Report this Post to the Staff
