i got this penny out of an auction, looking for opinion as to whether it is a bad mint strike, or perhaps someone just hammered it out on a whim. it is super thin, baffling, but fun to look at.

Are your pictures backwards or is that the way the coin is.
Also do you have a weight for it?

that is the way the coin is. i do not have the weight of it.

Then it looks like someone has tried to create there own coin by hammering or squeezing two coins onto a blank planchet. It certainly wasn’t struck that way at the mint.

thanks....that must have been one large press.
