It is ultra thin and came in a circular plastic container. It is very detailed and and the obverse bears the dates 1900-1982. On the reverse, it has the same details as a regular penny, but beneath the Lincoln Memorial is stamped 14k copy. I have no idea where it came from or how it came to my collection. It may have been obtained by my father before his death in 1984. Can you tell me its origin and any details I should know?

Its value is strictly bullion, which would be very little considering the size. __________________ The Other Frank "Buy The Book Before The Coin!"
