JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21653 Posts	Posted 06/04/2022 2:47 pm to the CCF Looks like a regular 1964 cent that has been encased in a bezel This would account for the extra weight and size. See if it can be removed. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34441 Posts	Posted 06/04/2022 3:30 pm @duck, first welcome to CCF. Second I agree that this coin has been mounted in a bezel. Otherwise, it is an ordinary cent that perhaps has been plated. In all, it is only worth face value.
