[QUOTE="redshirt, post: 486002, member: 16588"]First time poster... Ran some coins through the TD Bank coin counter and it rejected a weird looking penny. It has the following features: it's about 1mm in diameter wider than other pennies, it is concave like it was stamped too hard, it's a 1990 penny with no letters, and it has a brassy color. (In fact, it doesn't look like copper at all.) It has a minor amount of darkening on the reverse, so it has been circulated, but it is in very good condition, suggesting the copper has not corroded off. It is a bit out-of-round and the ONE CENT wording seems distorted. The raised edges also look stretched back from the inner diameter somewhat. Is this some knock-off, an actual rare coin, or common? Any help would be appreciated. Regards, -r PS: I am working on a photo.... pictures are up... see below.[/QUOTE]
