I've heard that these will shrink in a clothes dryer - true?
It's never made sense to me how the digits could end up in such odd places on the obverse. I've always thought they were more like die cracks,...
The penny looks like half of it sat in acid for a while, but that reverse almost looks like the circular whirls of a fingerprint, or some type of...
I hate to even ask a question for fear of this thread never dying out. I've kept up with it, but don't think this question has been asked. Do the...
Per an earlier post by the owner (post # 11), the areas in question are raised, not lowered. The large area does look very porous, so that must be...

I had to give up searching - I did find this one. Maybe these were part of a series of medals? can you get a picture?...
I see the skull too. :)
That is strange. The link did go to the cent auction yesterday, and I remember some of the other items from that seller being the same as those...

You're welcome! :yes:
