Spence Moderator United States 34423 Posts	Posted 06/06/2018 8:54 pm @cldague, your '99 cent might be a so-called Texas Cent, where the coin is placed between two straps of leather and then pounded until it enlarges. In addition to being slightly larger in diameter, it should also be slightly thinner.
