like the Gettysburg penny, do these things get turned out for something special or just someone sitting in their garage stamping pennies, or do we know?

My guess is it was bought at a Gettysburg souvenir shop with a stamping machine on sight for a buck or less.

Nice find. Probably part of a magic trick.

I just went through 10 rolls, only one wheat, 1942. I also found a couple funny ones, the first one 1973 D looks like it has two rims on one side. Probably the biggest error I've found. I know it's common though. The second has me perplexed. It's 1982, and it looks like someone punched a D mint mark into the coin, because it's indented instead of raised. Has anyone ever seen anything like that? I also found a couple wood grain pennies. I love those :D
