A 1958 D Wheat penny with what appears to be no rim, missing the L in Liberty entirely, very misshapen and definitely smaller than your average penny!! Do I have something or am I grasping? Probably the latter but you never know!!! Edited by Girlinlove 10/04/2024 3:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10529 Posts	Posted 10/04/2024 3:23 pm Right - filed rim. Back in the day Cents were filed down to be spent as dimes in vending machines before the machines mechanisms were changed to go by weight of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Maine Member Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 10/04/2024 6:03 pm Rim has been filed to fit into a dime roll. This was common when I was a kid. I hate when people mess with coins. Report this Post to the Staff
