    Chewmassa Now where could my pipe be?

    Looks like someone got bored and used a dremel tool on it.

    From looking at the reverse, if I were to take a screwdriver or some such tool, lay the cent on a piece of leather or some such, and whack it a few times, I think it would look like that.

    Wow! This is absolutely amazing. I make these cents. That is definitely one of mine. I'm in East Tennessee. Would love to know where one of my cents made it to.

    That is so cool never thought I would see one again. I'm blown away by this. Thanks for posting. It is an S for Steve. Some have an E on the reverse.

    What's interesting to me is that it doesn't seem to show zinc underneath. Have you weighed this coin?
