TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 04/21/2021 10:52 am I like it but it baffles me that the reverse Wheat cent is not badly damaged with the overstruck Lords Prayer obverse? How was this done unless somebody has a fake or real reverse die? Report this Post to the Staff
TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 04/21/2021 10:54 am Already, thinking a little bit, I bet that it's a very thin shell glued over the obverse. Sort of those you see in magician cent to dime tricks. Edited by TNG 04/21/2021 10:55 am Report this Post to the Staff
NickG Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 04/21/2021 11:43 am I like it not sure how it was done but wondering if it was made during WWII or Korean war. Report this Post to the Staff
Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7034 Posts	Posted 04/21/2021 12:10 pm @ TNG and others...look at the reverse rim, "fin" wraps around the entire coin. Makes me think the reverse was set into the "prayer plate".... Neat find Edited by Greasy Fingers 04/21/2021 12:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff

IsThisAnything Valued Member United States 440 Posts	Posted 04/21/2021 12:51 pm I thought of a magician coin as well. Neat little find! Report this Post to the Staff
Blind Squirrel Valued Member United States 220 Posts	Posted 04/21/2021 1:46 pm aardspeed posted a similar one several years ago, but the inscription was on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/21/2021 2:01 pm Looks like the obverse side was added over the coin. Note the wrap around on the edges of the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

I did not notice that before, but I should have looked after reading the TNG and Greasy Fingers comments.
