From looking at the reverse, if I were to take a screwdriver or some such tool, lay the cent on a piece of leather or some such, and whack it a few times, I think it would look like that.
Wow! This is absolutely amazing. I make these cents. That is definitely one of mine. I'm in East Tennessee. Would love to know where one of my cents made it to.
Southern Utah, pulled it from a box of pennies I picked up at a Wells Fargo, I'm actually going to keep your coin just to remember the thrill when I found it haha
That is so cool never thought I would see one again. I'm blown away by this. Thanks for posting. It is an S for Steve. Some have an E on the reverse.
What's interesting to me is that it doesn't seem to show zinc underneath. Have you weighed this coin?
