I need to know info and get certification (...). Thank you.

I personally have no interest in buying this but it is a cool piece. This is an altered coin, whether it was done by the Zippo company IDK but cool as heck in my opinion. It has a bezel which means it was worn by someone as a necklace or a charm. No need to get it certified or graded. By the way Zippo does repair their lighters for free.

Hmm interesting. This combines both my collections. Zippos and coins.

 

What makes you think that the coin is a proof strike?

I see no indication that this would be the case.

 

Thanks Mike. I meant to ask the same thing.

 

A quick google search turned up a bunch of them, they mostly seem to be advertised for $10 or less.

 

not a proof, just a spender

 

@Grace Gleason
Your Cent is not a proof Cent and it is damaged.

I know a guy who sells these at a flea market for $2.00 each
I created a thread once on new versions that I bought from him - https://www.cointalk.com/threads/encased-cents-zippo-lucky.290648/

These are mine -

 

And thus the Motto . . . repairing a Zippo costs you not one cent because the Company does it for free! PS: That's a Kool collection!!!
