1913 Penny Help

[dean 0]

I've not been able to find any back that looks like this. Hopefully someone's run across it before and can tell me something about it. Thanks!

Its quite small, can you enlarge it a little?

Hopefully this one is better.

What does the edge look like - any line indicating a join?

Possibly grafted with a private issue, similar to "double headed" pennies

I don't see a join, but upon looking at it closer I think the side was sanded down as there are rings like a record and then the new shield was engraved. Certainly explains why I haven't been able to find anything on this. Thanks for all the help!

Yes - I think you're right. The obverse has been machined out, then recut to make a vanity piece.
