It is larger than the normal Penny it is 20.5mm in diameter and the engraved features are larger as well. Can anyone give me some information on this. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 05/18/2018 10:59 am I wonder how it survived in circulation. I'd think the first coin machine it would have gone through would have spit it into the random bin.

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 05/18/2018 11:00 am It's a Texas Cent, the result of hammering a cent between two pieces of leather - it flattens it without major damage to the design. http://goccf.com/t/216119 Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74707 Posts	Posted 05/18/2018 11:31 am It's a Texas Cent as mentioned. This is Post Strike Damage (Happened out of the U.S. Mint). Worth face value since it's damage. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
