Rufus53 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/13/2020 9:19 pm My brother has had a '72 Denver penny since a few years after its circulation, always wondering if if had any special worth or how it became as it looks. I include pictures. As the width picture shows, it is about half the width of a usual penny. Could you please help him with these questions. We both live rather removed from any access to collectors. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Rufus53 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/14/2020 08:41 am Thanks to all who have commented so far. I will send the link on split planchet and the comments to his attention. I'm sure he would also appreciate knowing what the coin might approximately bring if sold in today's market. Any thoughts? On his behalf and mine, thanks again. Report this Post to the Staff
