Another box of pennies searched....

[Tim (PA)]

Sorry, still no camera.

- Found 9 wheats... all from 40's and 50's.

- An 1895 foreign coin.

- A penny with the memorial on the back, and nothing on the front, it's blank. It probably weighs less than half a regular penny. Very strange... anyone ever see that before??

Never heard of a penny missing half of the design, but great find with the 1895!

The half-a-penny is probably the back part of a magician's coin.

What does the 1895 say on it? My guess is it's German.

Good going on all the finds!

Hey Tim a 1895 coin that is cool congrats

Thanks!!

The 1895 coin has a large "2" in the center with a small "K-B" underneath it, and a wreath around the outside of the coin. The other side has a helmet (decorated with temples, I think?) with 1895 underneath and the words "MAGYAR KIRALYI VALTOPENZ" around the outside. Any ideas?? Thanks,

Ah, Hungarian! Denomination = 2 filler. The helmet is the crown of St. Stephen. Nice going! Here's a pic:
