<p>[QUOTE=&quot;anomalous howard, post: 2411462, member: 78413&quot;]Thank you for the suggestion.&nbsp; I&#039;ll try to contact him.</p><p>Since the diameter is even a tiny bit smaller than a dime it&#039;s possible that it&#039;s a full penny&#039;s worth of material or it started out as a full penny then the outer circumference was evenly cut off with that part of it wrapped over the edge and then the rim was formed.&nbsp; Other than the obvious separation toward the central part of the &quot;wrapping&quot; it really appears to be part of the coin as it approaches the rim.</p><p>The edge is smooth as if the rim was formed after it was wrapped.</p><p><br /></p><p>But that might not make sense since the part that would be cut off would be longer than the resulting circumference and would then overlap itself after one time around...which it doesn&#039;t do.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe I should get it weighed to see if it is a full penny&#039;s worth of copper.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again to everyone for your help .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
