That is a weird size penny!

[Daryn]

Was going through my dirty clad from the other day and I found this weird sized penny. Ran it under some water quickly and saw a shield appear. Used Goes4ever's clean ing tip (thank you for that) and this is what I found:









Can pick out 18 and then I think another 8 for the date.

Thanks,
Daryn

Why do you say it is a weird size penny? Is it thicker than normal or what they call a "Fattie" Indian?

Was thin like a dime and felt "strange" for a penny, that's what I meant. Was just a neat lead in line that's all.

Got it... If it is an 1888 I would try and clean it up to be able to really see that date. 1888 last 8 over 7 is a pretty valuable coin. You never know till you check it out.
Indian's are always nice to find, love the look of them!

Gotta luv them indians!

But, even if it is 8 over 7, no self respecting collector will give more than 5 bucks in clad for an environmentally damaged, cleaned, coin.
