    What about the edge ? could it have been put together with another coin?

    The edge is completely straight. If its not uni face, it would have to be some sort of strike error.

    It's not scarce. Your coin was minted between 1911 and 1926. Also, the reverse is just damaged. It was worn down somehow. You can see elements of the reverse design still where it isn't completely worn down.

    How is that possible? Also, is the fact that its DDO have significance? I have also seen unifaces with partial detail

    Many things are possible. How exactly it was done is known only to the person who did it (possibly over 100 years ago).

    There is no doubt that unifaces can contain detail. Here is one just for example. I believe the strike didn't entirely compress. UnifaceDime_finnedrim.jpg

    You would truly have to hold this coin to see. No signs of grinding; only compression

    Thanks deacon. There is all sorts of possible errors to this coin. I am going to get it looked at. Although there should not be a doubt in my mind. DDO uni face; that would be stellar.

    Its not a uni-face penny at all.
    It is not rare.
    its a normal penny with excessive wear to the reverse caused by human manipulation.

    Any idea on how this could have been manipulated? The information can be useful. This coin is in its full state, weighs the 9.4 grams its supposed to and looks like a uni face. Unless someone back in the day used some sort of machine to accomplish this, I still believe it was caused by the planchet. I don't think this coin would show such compression and have an almost perfect obverse with human hands. Although, that is just my opinion. it would be almost impossible unless machined and even then the machine would damage the front of the coin. I believe it was struck with the obverse safe when minted.

    I find the double die all over the coin. Rare, perhaps not but could be
