<p>[QUOTE="jloring, post: 1300738, member: 15518"]I'll tell you what it looks like to me; back in the late 50's, early '60's, we would buy "penny keychains"... a Lincoln cent that had an extremely tight fitting bezel mechanically pressed into place. A tiny loop was soldered to the top of the bezel and a keychain attached. The cent/bezel was silver plated so that it looked very similar to your obverse photo. Now since this bezel was "pressed" into position, it left a slight circular "tooling" depression near the perimeter, also seen in your obverse photo. Sometimes we would mess around with these keychains and try to pull the bezel off, which usually resulted in a deformation at the attachment point of the chain. Then the loop would break off, leaving a coin identical to yours. Not saying that's what you have, but maybe a possibility.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
