1998 P Stretch Lincoln

It was a bad pun. I had to. Probably a carnival machine penny. Just asking.

Maybe it's a belt cent. They call them something else too but I don't remember what.

It's when they put a cent in between the fold of a leather belt and then into a press to spread it out without destroying the details.

 

Someone else posted the same issue a few days ago. It's an altered Cent called a Texas Cent.
Post Mint Damage

Why that name?
You know the saying "Everything is bigger in Texas"

 

Yes, that's it, Texas cent! I get it now, lol

 

I want to share this image with you..

 

Yep, it's a Texas cent.

 

Just last Wednesday.

I tried to look it up but got results for a slang term for a $100 note because it's apparently called a Texas penny in gambling, lol.

 

Looks more like " TEXAS TOAST" guys!

 

Another Texas Cent in the same week. Is someone out there making them for fun and a profit?

 

Let’s go Etsy!

 

I just found it in some change

 

Lol, you’re the third person that’s posted one and had questions in a week. Haven’t seen one almost the entire year and now three all at once. Please don’t take offense at this but it’s unusual and funny at the same time.

 

What people do to coins is always an unanswerable question.
