JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21586 Posts	Posted 02/08/2023 1:49 pm Unless you were there at the time, you might never find out exactly what happened but the fact that it could not have happened at the mint makes it PMD Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 02/08/2023 2:32 pm May have been used in a fuse box at some point. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff

Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 02/08/2023 3:34 pm Fuse box theory is very interesting indeed! Makes more sense than the penny stopping a bullet during WWI...(my personal theory). Report this Post to the Staff

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 02/08/2023 5:43 pm If we can exchange somewhere will still an cent, if not, for me it is just a zinc disk with some traces of a Wheat cent. Report this Post to the Staff
Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 02/08/2023 7:57 pm I have to agree with I6609 about the burn marks....as far as I know it was not altered in any way. I found this coin in 1972 and it looked pretty much as it does today. Still very interesting 1911.... Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 02/09/2023 01:25 am Could be a fused cent or maybe a spot welder victim. Report this Post to the Staff
