Spence Moderator United States 34448 Posts	Posted 08/05/2017 8:13 pm @Odul, looks to me like someone put both a cent and a dime on the train tracks completely overlapping both coins, with a third coin partly overlapping. You have the cent side, while someone else has that unfortunate dime. Fun to look at, but worth only a cent (if you can get a teller to take it--no way CoinStar will take this).

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 08/05/2017 11:42 pm Yeah, probably a three coin stack with the dime in the middle. When the train wheel struck it, the top coin (cent?) was pushed forward and left that partial impression. It would be neat to have all of the coins together.
