Ok Todd, I’ll be the one to tell you what you want to hear. Way back in 1941, the US Mint accidentally released 1 Cent that was too large. They’ve been searching for it ever since, and you found it!!! Your rich now, congrats!

 

Just go ahead and send it to one of the top 2 TPGs and let them tell you what it is!

 

This one (coins shown actual size) must have been struck on a half dollar size planchet with special dies. Must be a specimen worth millions!

 

Dude your 100 percent wrong and you sound like another hater. What just because someone said it makes it right? WRONG. Its not some of the features, its everyone of them. You are crazy if you think this coin was stretched or made by an amature person. You've probably missed a lot in your life. You are easily lead my friend. This isn't a coin made by anything but a die. Show me proof. Your the one who has to show me that this coin is novelty or a fraud. I thank you for your opinion, but please have a little bit more opened mind in life or you will miss a whole lot. I would love for everyone here to see it in person. I know you would all have a different opinion. Thanks

 

The only coin that can fit in the cent coining press/ hub etc.
is a penny or a dime.
Your coin is not possible. Think about it.
If it is a real cent and not a novelty like the post above,
it was enlarged after it left the mint.
Yes it was originally made by a die, a cent sized die.
It was enlarged later. There are several threads here on Texas cents.
I have a few.

 

It isn't up to us to prove anything. You have the burden of proof. Now it's time to no longer hear from the novice that tells experienced people they're wrong.

 

1. The burden of proof lies with you, not with us. You have to prove it is an error, and there is no way you can because it is not possible.
Think about it, Professor. Do you think they had an extra large die made, in addition to making a special over-sized planchet?

2. I am not sure exactly what office building you work at, but instead of pulling out your vaping pen for a few puffs in between the floors you mop, try reading up on how coins are minted. Lucky for you they even have coin books at a 4th grade reading level which can give you a fighting chance at understanding something.

3. Don't say "I respect your opinion" and then proceed to treat someone like an idiot and talk to them like a child. I don't respect your opinion, so I am not concerned about treating you like one.

4. After you finish reading this, for your next act why not tell Bill Gates how to make money, tell Lamborghini how to make a sports car, tell Boeing how to build a passenger airliner, and tell NASA how to land a rocket on Mars. They are all doing it wrong and don't know what they're talking about either and can use a genius such as yourself.

 

I have already proven it’s not possible to have been created that size at the mint. Read it and respond. If you’re not going to read the proof provided to you, than you’ll be going on my ignore list until you’re either booted or you get bored and leave this site, because you’re obviously here to troll.

 

In Texas they store their pennies Edited

 

And please don't leave your mind quite so open. Your judgement wandered off, and now your preconceived notions are bothering the neighbors.

 

You must prove your claim but ask yourself this: If the cent you have was struck by both dies (obverse and reverse) how did the entire coin in question get as large as it is when the striking dies are both the same smaller size? If the blank planchet was larger and inserted into a smaller area and struck with the force coins are struck with wouldn't the coin be shaped like a bowl?

 

Show some images of the side of the coin. Then another image of the sides of the regular cent on top of the Texas cent.

 

Better images would be great. The ones posted don't show any detail.

There is one other possibility. It would take someone like Dan Carr that has the skills and equipment. He could make something like this without any problem.

I don't believe the coin came from the mint looking like this.

 

No they do not. They are destroyed. And it is a Die not a Dye.

 

Time for a quick analogy. Your claim is equivalent to going to a car show with a Corvette engine in your Mustang and telling the judges that it's very rare because it came from the Ford factory with the Chevy Engine. Then you insist they must prove to you that Ford didn't put a Corvette Engine in new mustangs and tell them they need to keep an open mind. Yes, here are cars with engine swaps, but they didn't roll off the assembly line with them.

Here is some excellent information on how dies and coins are made. Please read these and then let us know how your coin could be made by the mint. Hopefully this will help, because it's my last response to your nonsense, but maybe other new collectors with open minds can learn something from it.

Dies


Die Hardware (So how does a bigger Cent Die fit into these?)

 

Check please, Mic drop, and Elvis has left the building. Great response, Hoops.

 

Well said.... And may I say as a freind and with the upmost respect.... What’s up with your new avatar?

 

It's from people like this OP. All of are saying the same thing but they refuse to believe. It just makes you want to scream!

 

Here's your answers ....

This above statement is 100% Correct.

You may have common sense. But not with coins. So this statement is 100% Incorrect.

If you do not believe this then this *IS* the next step for you.
