Was going through some wheatbacks I picked up and was surprised to find this very odd looking rim issue...it's no larger in diameter nor is it thicker than any other penny but the whole image is smashed in from the rim on both sides. Very strange...Thoughts? Opinions? Does it add a premium?

Thanks everyone

to the CCF! It looks as if a jeweler encased it to be worn as a pendant. I have one just like it and someone took the encasement off. Different year though. No premium for that I'm afraid.

Unusual find. Probably damaged.
