Hand punched with number dies, could have been done any time 1957 to yesterday.
I can make them to order if you want more?? A few years ago, well quite a few years ago, it was kind of a fad for people to punch a penny with an important date and frame it for good luck. As an example the date on the penny might indicate a year of birth of an individual and 86 the year of that persons first born child. The exact meaning of the date and punched numbers or letters only had meaning to the owner. I have also seen them with the penny date the year of marriage and the punched number the year of divorce. One individual actually decorated his truck with streamers and drove around town with a big sign that said "JUST DIVORCED".
WOW!!! fhrjra JUST DIVORCED I got my PLATES magazine yesterday It has a picture I will post!!
