just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 01/23/2011 8:23 pm Or a real coin but a commemorative of who could or would have been the President if Lincoln Lost the election. Might be a little Gremlin next to Lincoln's face made by the Gremlin Mint. In an Astronots pocket when re-entering our atmoshere. An attempt at the Fermi Labs to make Copper/Zinc into Gold.

SilverFossil64 Valued Member United States 183 Posts	Posted 01/23/2011 10:54 pm It looks like a penny from chemistry class...made some very artistic looking pennies with a strong flame. Some of my favorites were heated enough to melt the zinc, then flattened so it gushed evenly from all sides making it look kind of like the sun with zinc color rays coming out of a super thing penny...
