Description

The listing, A penny has ended.

"Wait a minute, this isn't a good auction!" You might be thinking, well you'd be right; a normal penny isn't a good auction!
But this is no ordinary penny, this is a GIANT penny! It's about the size of the palm of my hand!

I picked this up waaaay back when i was a wee youngster going to the US mint. I don't remember a thing about the trip so i might as well get rid of it.

Some of the copper coating is rubbing off or something so it isn't too shiney anymore, but it kinda looks like an old penny anyway so it doesn't matter

Who would like this? I dunno, maybe someone who collects coins? It'd be an interesting conversation piece to put up on the shelf!

I don't know, but probably some cheap metal that got a copper coating.

The copper coating looks like it's rubbing and scratching off (look at the last picture)
It used to be shiney like a new penny, but now it looks kinda like an old one :-)

What kind of metal is it? Was it minted by the US mint? How much does it weigh?

No idea (its kinda light), probably not (it's a souvenir I got at the US mint) and like I said, it's kinda light.
