Four Cents (Looks Like Three)

[Gamma_Joe]

These came out of some curb strips in Jacksonville, Florida.

The first is a piece of jewelry, with two pennies inside it. (That's why there's a total of four cents in the photos.)

The middle is an odd one. It's been clipped on the edges. Why?

The last one is a real nice Wheat.

It's been a good day, all around.

Cheers,

Joe

It looks like something was added above the Memorial on the new penny? Hard to tell from photo.... clipped one was probably just cause they could but who knows.... 41 wheat is a nice find!!!!

It's the "E PLURIBUS UNUM" text above the Memorial.

The item is about 3/16 inch thick. It has two new pennies inside. It has a round "gold" frame (not real gold), with glass windows on the front and back to show the pennies.

I wonder why they put two coins inside, one facing front and the other facing back. Seems like they could have made it with one coin (but it would have been thinner).

It's got a small hole on each side, so maybe it was made to fit onto a pin, or a necklace or bracelet.
