Mint Mark Error

Postby Doctor Steuss » Wed May 09, 2012 7:14 pm

Found this a while back, and finally have gotten around to taking a high-res scan of it. I was wondering if something like this is worth sending off to be graded, or if its value is likely too low to justify the expense (seems that most error coins are kind of hard to peg price-wise).

Thanks,
Stu

cool. I usually post my pictures on lincoln cent resource before jumping the gun on grading. they have always helped me out. (and probably saved me lots of money) :D

sorry to be the bearer of bad news but that isn't an error. It's just the zinc corroding under the copper.
