cointagous Pillar of the Community United States 1143 Posts	Posted 06/14/2023 1:31 pm Maybe this is the new Pi cent with an inflation value of .0314159? Edited by cointagous 06/14/2023 1:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94728 Posts	Posted 06/14/2023 9:33 pm Most likely somebody was going for a 'Hobo Nickel' but on a cent instead.... Collecting since 1972.

cointagous Pillar of the Community United States 1143 Posts	Posted 06/14/2023 9:49 pm Joking aside it looks like someone etched the reverse most likely with a dremel. It falls into the hobo nickel category. As to why it was done no one knows except the engraver of this cent. Edited by cointagous 06/14/2023 9:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94728 Posts	Posted 06/14/2023 10:43 pm Can we get a close up of the date? the last number looks altered. (or is it?) Collecting since 1972.

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5767 Posts	Posted 06/15/2023 12:45 pm To me, it looks fake or possibly some type of token piece? What is the weight?
