Those remind me of the "Frankenstein" penny :good:
I have a couple of the Frankenstein pennys here somewhere , Not sure where but I know I have them :angel:

I have seen this one called that

No worries robbiegal, it's an on going project for rainy days.

Frank is pretty cool RG! What year is it?

Of course; a 1964 penny had to bob up sooner or later!
It was a very good year.

Is it true that the RAM actually made pennies in 1965, dated 1964 -to discourage hoarding?

[robbiegal]

not sure
I think there is evidence that they were minted in 1965 but still on the 1964 dies
not sure of the justification for the production

I had been told that the around 1962 the penny was hoarded when word got out about the changeover to decimal currency
if it's true we will start to see more beautiful 1962 uncs on the market

the 1970 captain cook specimen 50c was definitely hoarded - they are starting to show up everywhere

1964 Huh. Franks very much RG :biggrin: Sorry uni, not a patch on you :blush:
