I'm a new beginner in coin collecting. And here is my first strange looking Penny. Along with this post is a 1988 one Cent Penny for comparison, has same wording just difference in size. My question is has any one here came across a large one Cent like this? Any information would be highly appreciated. It's a tab smaller then a nickle weighs 2.7 grams Edited by BabyJolynn 05/08/2023 12:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97379 Posts	Posted 05/08/2023 9:04 pm No, not worth more than a normal sized cent. What I have heard is that folks would place a zinc cent between 2 pieces of leather and vise it down a lot of times it will loosen the copper cladding from the zinc core. In fact, looking at your newer images it appears like there is no copper on it. Can you verify that? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
