Maybe, someone was trying to plate the coin. There have been a couple posted here over the years. The first photo looks like that. The second picture doesn't show well.
I bought a modern cent. Finally thought it over enough, and decided to include the Shield design in my Type Set. This is the coin I chose.
New photos of 1933-D, replacing the ones from 9 years ago. This wraps up my photography project for a while. Full resolution photos
Ron, I have been thoroughly enjoying your posts, love the photography of these beautiful coins. Hope you don't wait too long to do another round! Thank you, Kevin.
Ok, I used to tell my staff that were in my training classes that the only stupid question was the un-asked one. So, I'll practice what I preached. What is it? And, I'm guessing there are 2 of them?
It is a hammered(spooned) cent I made with a small hammer on an anvil. There is only one coin. It is approx 16x16mm. I made some round ones too. This one is 15mm now
