Hi all.
I dug this 55D today. at first glance it looked like a double die. after cleaning i saw that it wasn't. but take a close look at the rim on the front and back. it looks to be double stamped. anyone see one like this before?

It looks like an encased cent that was removed from it's encasement. Pennies were pressed in an aluminum encasement and given away as advertising pieces back in the day. :thumbsup:
