<p>[QUOTE="JDL, post: 3160755, member: 93654"]Why would anyone take the time to cut one penny in half (lengthwise) and hollow out a different penny, and try to marry them together if the obverse is worth maybe a buck? I was digging through some of my old pennies from when I was a kid and found this tribute to a major waste of time and effort! I would love to know the reasoning that went into this time-consuming project - any ideas? I've seen similar examples where two different 'heads' (or, 'tails') are combined ... in fact, i found one of those in my stash, too. But, why this? (incidentally, the 'normal' 1907 weighs 3.06 grams; the funky 1907 weighs 3.29 grams, for what that's worth.)[ATTACH=full]811213[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]811214[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]811215[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]811216[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]811217[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]811218[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]811219[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
