Waynoah83 Pillar of the Community 586 Posts	Posted 08/08/2018 07:57 am Who or whatever damaged the back, pushed the metal out on the front. Cause and effect. Maybe someone had it in their shirt pocket and got shot in that exact spot and it saved their life...I'm just saying. Could be the luckiest penny ever Report this Post to the Staff

Off-topic, but did you ever slowly rotate a Lincoln Penny between your fingers? There are things that start to show up....like hidden symbols and signals....odd Report this Post to the Staff
