[QUOTE="Raatcharch, post: 73462, member: 4253"]I've had a bizzare coin in my collection for years that I've never thought much about, recently some friends of mine have been urging me to find out more about it, and this is my first stop. It's very hard to describe. It has both an obverse and a reverse on both sides of the coin. Some of the words such as "United States of America" are backwards. The stamps for obverse and reverse superimpose each other on both sides of the coin at odd angles. The date on the penny is 1975 (I believe, it's kind of hard to read). One side of the coin in smushed in a bit, creating a flat side about 1.5 cm long. Below is the best digital image I could manage with what I had on hand. I can get a scan if one is requested. So basically, could this be anything interesting, or should I not bother getting my hopes up. [img]http://www.geneseo.edu/~tkp1/Picture 003.jpg[/img][/QUOTE]
