I found a penny, a 1993 penny. Nothing unusual about that, except I noticed it's bigger than all the other pennies I have. Almost everyone who is is into coins is on the lookout for an unusual coin. Well, I was wondering if anyone else has seen a penny thats bigger than your standard model?
I tried to send a picture along, but I am ******ed and was unsucessful. The diameter is bigger than your standard model. Around the edge, there's two ridges on either side of the penny, sort a makes a square U shap. Another discription, the penny is kinda like a pully, without the hole in the middle.
 

It has probably been heated, the zinc core cents will kind of spread out if heated to the point that the zinc begins to melt.
