    It's time for all of us to go through our jars of post-wheat copper pennies to see if we can find something similar. Heaven knows, when I find pennies like this while metal detecting, I usually drop them into... a jar, and forget about them. Looks as if it's time to go back and take another look.

    I was dead serious, thanks. I'm very new to collecting and had never seen an example like this.

    Is that something like a Henway?

    The correct question is "Whats a Henway"
    Answer - " 'Bout 2 and a half pounds "

    It's just damaged, but that wonky-looking "R" is indeed kind of neat-looking.

    Post Mint Damage! It only copper. Copper is a soft metal. It only takes a little pressure to damage the surface of copper. But, don't take my word for it. Submit it to PCSG for grading. It's only $35 to grade that.

    I sure hope you are being facetious. You should put a LOL or smily face after if you are.
