bk8386 New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 08/11/2021 09:06 am I'm thinking this is a struck-through penny (A in America and last two digits of date)? Date not fully readable but from weight (4.62 grams) and appearance this is a copper-nickel Indian Head penny. Date is most likely 1863. Opinions please. Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 08/20/2021 5:04 pm Most likely a grease strike through. Not all that uncommon, but still a desirable and quite affordable error. 1863 is likely for the date, I suppose you could check each die pair in Rick Snow's FE & IHC encyclopedia to be sure if you could match one up.
