    hello got one more coin on my mind to ask about.i have this 1953 s cent it is a lot bigger than normal in diameter.his head and everything is bigger.and on the back the wheat cent is hardly stamped and the back has a raised hump down one side to the next.it is very very strange looking?it is the same thickness as a regular wheat cent.any clues?its flat and is almost the size of a nickle?

    It could have been hammered between pieces of leather or similar material. For what reason? Who knows.
