<p>[QUOTE="ExoMan, post: 3162760, member: 72588"]IMHO, this is not "garage cent" as suggested. This coin appears to have been hit by a well-executed, prepared die, produced by a skilled machinist. I concur that it fits the category of being a novelty cent. Dies like this do not come cheap, and the incentive to produce it was far more likely entrepreneurial than political. Stamped pieces like this, souvenirs of sorts, are often sold or distributed at tourist sites.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
