This sure looks like something pounded onto a penny. What do you think?

    Looks real but extremely damaged. Worth no more than melt.

    What's with the Lincoln cent under it?

    Worth 1 cent over melt, if the cent is included with the auction.image
    Witty sig line currently under construction. Thank you for your patience.

    Tough date but I do agree the other poster's. I would not pay over melt for that coin.
