MRC4U New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 07/10/2023 10:10 pm Greetings all, came across this little gem in my wife's type of pennies. To me it appears to be a 45-55 off-center Lincoln Penny. Couple questions I have, from enlargements that appear to be copper over zinc? And with the wideband on the reverse be considered broad stroke? Whatever it is, I think it's pretty cool Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 07/11/2023 06:13 am Worth saving in a 2x2-very nice! I agree that there are areas of exposed zinc core and therefore you will want to protect this coin in a low humid environment.
