<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tfj, post: 1487902, member: 39153&quot;]My father in law brought me a coin today. I know nothing about coins, except how to spend them at a vending machine.</p><p><br /></p><p>From my limited research, this is some sort mule coin, but I can&#039;t find any other examples similar to this.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s what I notice:</p><ul> <li>It appear to be a 195(8?) wheat penny, that was struck again with a 1958 nickel die</li> <li>Looks to be copper, and is the same height as a penny, but the same diameter as a nickel</li> <li>Edges are smooth, like a nickel and a penny</li> </ul><p>Who can tell me more about this? Perhaps point me to some other examples? Is this an exciting find?</p><p><br /></p><p>Below are photos, alongside some other random coins for size comparison.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]188973.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]188971.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]188972.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]188974.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]188970.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
