Sguernsjr New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 12/26/2022 6:35 pm I was going through my maw maw's old coins, and came across this 1964 penny. It fits inside the outer ring of a normal penny, weighs 3.04g and is pretty thick I have included pictures. Does anyone know what's going on with it? I'm at a loss. Wrong planchet maybe? Thanks y'all Report this Post to the Staff
