Hey guys I found this 37 wheat in a box the other day. Tell me if you've seen anything like this before.

Neat find, interesting that there's not much damage to the other side.

Very weird. Y'think it was used as clearance testing gauge on some type of old machinery? Y'know, like we use Lincoln's head to test our tire tread depth.

looks like someone ran over it with a tractor or some other type of machinery..
BTW..it is a 1927 penny..not '37

Looks like a framing hammer hit it.

I tried my framing on a copper and a zinc and could not make it look the same as yours.
