This coin is canadian penny, 1965, stamped one side. weight bouncing between 3.24 and 3.25 grams. stamped side is bowled, and coin is bigger as if it has been squashed. non stamped side is smooth as a babies bottom. thickness completely even. anyone ever see such a thing?

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 09/23/2022 12:03 am It looks altered somehow. In your pics, it looks to be a larger diameter than the 1986 coin. Is this the case?
