    While counting change for our church's Awana program I came across this penny. On one side is what appears to be a normal back, but on the front side you can see Lincoln's head and the image of the back side as well. It is also slightly deformed. I have attached 3 pics. the first is the "head" side, the second is the "tails" side, and the third is a comparison picture with a normal penny. Just curious if it is worth anything. Let me know. If nothing else it is a very interesting penny.

    The second image is inverted, so this is a squeezed or hammered coin.
    worth about one cent.

    I agree with Kirk. Still interesting though IMHO.

    thanks

    I didn't think it was gonna be worth more than just one cent, but it never hurts to ask, and it is always fun to see interesting pictures of money... Thanks again...

    I agree its a hammer job. Some one placed a penny on one side of it and smashed it with a hammer.
