Title: Odd looking 1925 penny
Post by: trout on August 27, 2015, 11:13:13 AM
The surfaces on this coin look like a cast replica.
I could be wrong but I personally wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole :angel:

The scare or rare Pre-decimals are to be treated as suss on eBay unless you trust the seller ....too many scammers on the site
