Granted, this is not a 1917 Lincoln Wheat cent DDO or 1856 Flying Eagle cent as we've seen lately, but we're still talking big big bucks!

I'd guess it's silver, but they must have annealed it incorrectly. That or they learned how to transmogrify precious metal into base metal.

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4415 Posts	Posted 05/06/2023 6:49 pm The creator of this piece needs to be paid a visit by the vice squad. Might you consider starting a year set of octagonal large cents? Collecting the varieties though would be tough! Seriously though, this octagonal coin was likely created during the Civil War era, being a copperhead issue. https://www.coinbooks.org/v26/esylu...6n11a13.html Edited by ExoGuy 05/06/2023 6:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff
