intersting. Hard to tell from the pics. Maybe it is a 1990 no-s proof wannabe counterfeit? The genuine coin is worth 3 grand, so I'm sure there is some incentive to fake one. However, you'd think they'd at least make it the right size, eh? I really have no idea, so lets let the experts chime in.

cool find.

 

Thanks Thread. just put the 1990 in as comparison. maybe i should have it weighed;

 

Not worth much. About $15 on a good day.

 

Oh. I was looking at the wrong cent. My bad. lol.

 

If U don't have a scale go in to a jewelery repair shop and as them to weight it. It maybe stuck on wrong planchet?

 

Any update on this odd penny?

 

not yet unable to take to jewler for weighing.the tail side is slighty concave, the edges are very high..anyone know of some tipe of chemical that could have removed the copper coating compleatly?
