<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mcp0526, post: 1364218, member: 36033&quot;]Hello Folks! First Post!</p><p><br /></p><p>I have had in my possession for a long time a penny that is stamped on one side only (Lincoln face side). The opposite side has no rim or marks such as grind marks. The weight of the penny is consistent with pennies from the same era. The head side has a hard impression like it was stamped too hard and has several deep gashes on the surface. It is very odd because as far as I know standard coinage is stamped front and back at the same time making this impossible unless it is a special circumstance. I believe the year it is marked would be a wheat cent. I do not remember the exact date. Approximately, the 40&#039;s? if my memory serves me correctly. I have never come across anyone who has been able to shed any light on my lonely penny, so if you have any insights it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you ahead of time!</p><p><br /></p><p>Pat</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. Unfortunately, I don&#039;t have the penny right with me to take pictures. It&#039;s currently at my parents house. Next time I go home I will post pics. Thanks again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
