NickJames New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 11/17/2019 9:35 pm Out of the 50 thousand pennies I've gone through so far this one boggles my brain... it weighs 2.5 grams has exact same features as the normal but it's the same size as a nickel. Anyone ever come across one of these? And it's it worth anything? Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21586 Posts	Posted 11/17/2019 9:42 pm It's called a Texas Coin. (Because everything is bigger in Texas) It has been beaten between two pieces of leather which has split and removed the copper and spread the circumference of the coin. No extra value as they are not hard to reproduce. Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 11/18/2019 03:19 am Can you provide a comparison pic? I am familiar with "Texas cents" but haven't held one. Maybe I should make my own. I have all the ingredients on hand...
