Post-mint damage. Worth face value (or melt).

I know it was post mint..Did anyone ever see this before..A complete set

Some telemarketers used to market these things and no doubt charged a fortune for a 50-state set. (And, no, they did NOT do 56 incl. the territories!) They're worth face. In fact, to me they're worthless, because I don't want to spend one because someone might find it and call me and ask a bunch of questions about it. So my advice on these is to wait until melting cents is legalized again, and then melt them.

I think it makes them far more interesting than regular boring pennies

Melting them is illegal. Smashing them into something unrecognizable with a hammer is not.

Hey, I found one just like it with NY stamped on it while I was searching my 10000 Cent Project pennies. I thought it was neat and put it next to the one I found as a kid that had Kennedy's profile stamped in it... I did not realize I should have just thrown it away.

That looks like a coin that shouldn't exist...

...yet does somehow.

I did sugar-coat it a little so as not to offend anyone.

Agreed, I would have no problem buying a roll of those at face value. I think they are sort of neat.

if you spend them don't be shocked if the clerk thinks they're fake.

Oh, you have a complete set. That's different, it's worth 50 cents or whatever you may get someone to pay for it.

I'm in for 50 cents.

I saw a coin board done up with them.
