Both coins are 1909 vdb. the one on left is normal size, the one on right is 22 millimeter.

Need better pictures to have any idea what you're seeing.

Pictures are pretty far away. Can't make a proper assessment based on those pics alone.

Sorry, that's the best I can do with a cell phone camera.

Can you hold a magnifying glass up to the cell phone and snap a magnified picture?

I zoomed in and in. I would say either a fake or a real coin that was hammered between leather and spread out. Do you have a scanner? Or try Simon's suggestion and use some magnification in front of the camera phone...

Here are more pics, not much better. You should get the difference in the size of the two coins from the image. It must be fake because both coins are identical except for the size.

Do you have a scanner?, makes the pictures better than that ;)

Definitely not from the mint. Probably as I mentioned in the other post ..."Texas Cent"....which as Jason mentioned is a cent hammered between two pieces of leather.

If not from the mint, someone went through a lot of trouble to hammer it out. I didn't know you could stretch a coin like that.

This pic is a little better than last.

I still can't make anything out. Please hold up a magnifying glass to your cellphone and take a picture. The coin certainly doesn't appear to be an error of any sort. It is most certainly not a mint-made product.

I'm afraid not

Is it possible this was struck on a foreign planchet?
