If that is a penny struck on a dime planchet, you might have a nice little coi there worth a little bit of money. Can't say for sure since the pic is kind of blurry, but I hope that's what you got! Congrats!

Boy, and the news talks about our shrinking dollar. The economy must be going even faster than I thought. Is the edge reeded like a dime?

Hey that penny is cool but that quarter looks like it may have an extra blade on the corn! If it does it's worth about $500! Take a close look it before you spend it.

The pic is blurry so I may be wrong.

My dad is a coin collector and he told me you can order these pennies they're just a collector piece if you want more information on how to get one let me know I will get it and post it.

That penney was not a mistrike just someones idea to lighten the change in their pockets. LOL As far as striking it on a dime planchet it is even smaller heres a better pic of it with a dime.OnionRings was right just a novelty item but how about seeding a field with them and taking a friend with you to hunt.If it isn't fun then it's not for me.Thanks for looking.

(Thanks for looking?I think I got E-BAY on my mind.)
