Mystycgurl42 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 09/18/2022 12:11 pm So I found this penny. The extra face above the date is familiar but I can't quite place it. Also WHOLY COW! There is a little face above the date.... I welcome any and all information/advice on this unique coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34425 Posts	Posted 09/18/2022 12:46 pm @mys, first welcome to CCF. Second, as noted by @jim, this was done after the coin left the mint. It is a neat find, but doesn't add to the value. Here is a link to a previous thread showing the card on which some of these were mounted: http://goccf.com/t/89982 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
