My 1st major error penny found in a box

Postby Pennysaved » Sat Apr 28, 2012 5:40 pm

I have found some minor errors but nothing like this.

I would say about 50% of the blank planchet is showing.

Pretty cool to find this.

Anyone know roughly how much these are worth?

I posted your photo for you--

And we found one in the past see -- http://www.realcent.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1788&hilit=+ERROR I have been told they are more common than one would think because they stand out they a pulled the first time someone sees them.I also have been told that it is harder to find newer ones. What year is if if you can tell.

That's cool. I had to buy mine :(

$5 - $10 value. With a complete date add a bit more.

That's a neat find. I've found my share of blank planchants but never an extreme off-set die like that!!!!

You're lucky you didn't miss that one.

I wonder how many people overlooked that one.

Definitely a cool find! Congrats! Not gonna make you rich but I know for me personally it would be worth much more than what I could sell it for. Into a 2x2 and in with the rest of the cool finds!
