    Looks like a Lincoln Cent. Even in great condition it would have no intrinsic value, no purchasing power, and no numismatic value.

    It is a typical example of one of the most common man-made items on the planet, but thanks for sharing.

    Find it at the park? Actually I think that you should send that to PCGS and have them grade it and then you can pop it up on ebay and make a fortune.

    I wish my camera was better. That's all I can say. It has another date behind it. Also, it has a whole nother coin printed on it, and it is thicker with more diameter as well than any other penny.

    It is the size of a nickel

    Looks like 2 coins glued together. Don't quit your job.

    I’ll trade you two rolls of toilet paper for that penny! :p

    I'm addicted to exonumia ... it is numismatic crack!

    One of the first places I took the future Mrs. Hydrant to was the tool department at Sears. She was 18. I just got off work. My hands were dirty. My fingernails were disgusting. I was embarrassed. I told her so. She said, "It just means you're a hard working man." I was pretty sure she was the one before that. After that, I knew she was! You're a hard working man. You have a sense of humor. You're wasting it here. Go back to work.

    I don't know what you've got there Champ, but it looks like the rim on the obverse has been pressed...so, go from there.

    I want to believe that you're being sincere and posting in good faith. I want to believe that you're excited about collecting coins, and really excited going through a lot of raw material. I don't want to make one more joke about bowtie fantastics. Lastly, I feel badly when I read some of the harsh, mean and rude responses.

    On the other hand, I look at your photos, read your questions and view your oddities, all of which stretch credulity. You see things no one else sees and you argue with the respondents who actually give you serious consideration.

    Please reply to this message and tell me a little about yourself, and what attracts you to error searching (or at least your version of it). Maybe if we all get to know you as a person we can make a reasonable judgement about your participation.

    Thanks for playing.

    You don't believe me, 'eh? SEND it to PCGS and they will accurately tell you what you have. Cheap and easy to do.

    You have a worn, damaged cent.... Please get the reference books that have been recommended. They will help you in your searches. Cheers, RickO
