Jessi Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Looks like an error, although probably a minor one. I'm just trying to figure out what that last number is supposed to be. 7 maybe? It looks like a 'T"... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syzygy Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Yeh, 1967, although I like the idea of a 196T too Looks like there are a couple of hits on the date - or is that some extra metal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessi Posted October 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Are you talking about the roundness of the numbers? I thought that in general the whole date looks a bit odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole date looks kind of 'shakey' yes. On the 9 there are two points where it looks like a cut or some extra metal - hard to tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessi Posted October 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Here's a link to a big high dpi scan of the whole penny if that will help. I don't really know much about this kind of stuff, so I'm kind of lost :-) Penny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalman Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 From the large scan, it appears that the anomolies on the date are the result of several hard hits while in circulation. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
