Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 09/07/2018 10:52 am In the days before TV dinners when food was actually prepared in the kitchen for your family, , a common practice was to take inexpensive coins, like the copper large cent and Two Cent Pieces and"modify" them for kitchen utensil use. A scalloped edge like this would have had a hole in the middle and mounted on a handle to be used as the edger for pie crusts. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/07/2018 2:29 pm Note the normal rim is distorted all around both sides of the coin. It is all PSD. It is not exact, so it was probably hand done. Edited by coop 09/07/2018 2:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
