looks like two pennies got struck together as there is a d on the main part. Could be worth a small fortune if it is really an off strike as the further off it seems the more valuable. Ice

This really does look like a genuine off-strike. A pretty dramatic one at that. It's interesting how the zinc flowed out of the core, don't believe I've seen that one like that before. Your best bet is to go onto eBay and take a look at Lincoln cent off-strikes to see if there are any similar to yours. I suppose a grading company might handle it, but look for one that will handle errors, as not all of them do.

Nice find! (Where's you come across it, BTW?)

Very nice off center coin, only problem is zinc pennies have a very bad habit of corroding, and it looks like that is what has happened to that one. Don't know how much that would affect the value.

Really? Did you find this with a lot of other coins or something?
