I don't believe this cent can go off misalignment much more. What do you think?

    Nicely misaligned

  • seanqseanq Posts: 8,531 ✭✭✭✭✭

    That is a good one, maybe the most misalignment I've seen on a modern cent. Heck of a change find, congrats.

    Good Catch, dude. That's a keeper. Too bad it wasn't the WAM. Then that would definitely be a PCGS grading candidate. B)

    A much, much, better example of a MAD
    than most - great to find in change

    There is at least one other Lincoln with
    a Mis-Alignment more than your's, but
    your's is a great find.

    Wow, that's spectacular. I'm not sure how it managed to circulate looking like that.

    Nice find!
    I found a 1973 a few years ago that is very similar, but I think you have it beat!

    I had no idea a MAD could be that far off. Thank you for sharing your pictures.

    A long while ago I had a 1960s era MAD cent with the last digit completely off the planchet, if I can find pictures I will add them to the post. The only other MADs I can recall that are close to the strength of the OPs coin are a couple of Jefferson nickels from the early 1980s.

    It really is astounding that it was pulled from circulation 23 years after it was struck.

    There is a 1973 cent in somebody's collection out there that rivals EOC's except in the direction of the misalignment. I had purchased the coin from John Devine in 1973. It was the first year of the large FG initials and that was the determining factor in knowing the date. Probably 35-40% off.

    Cool find!

    I have never found an error coin like that in pocket change. Probably missed a few, but I will never know.
    Cool. Congrats.

  • d9lowed9lowe Posts: 297 ✭✭✭✭

    Are these coins worth anything? Other than a cent of course!

  • tincuptincup Posts: 4,665 ✭✭✭✭✭

    EOC ? Comments ? IMO it certainly is.

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Wow... what a great change find....That is why I shop with cash and check change... well, almost always check the change... It goes in a jar anyway to check some snowy/rainy day... I have only been fortunate enough to have found a blank cent planchet. Cheers, RickO

    I would estimate the value in the $30-50 range, at least I would be comfortable paying that for an example (were I in the market). Would like to hear other opinions as well.

    I don't know - something seems off about these coins.
