1 cent without head??? Please help

DuyPhan

I have found this coin in my storage unit. I tried to scale it which is about 2,5 gram. Anyone here can help I appreciate that! Thanks

It looks to be a blank planchet...interesting, but not much value.

that's what they look like just before they get into the minting press.

since it is ~2.5 grams its possible birthdate is 1982-present.

it's worth more than 1 cent. keep it. don't ever clean it.

PCGS MS64 RED but send it under the error code or it might not get graded.

someone sold 50 for ~$35

at that value it is not worth it to have it graded as the costs would be many, many times what it is worth.

Thanks all. How about this coin?

Second one looks like it was run over by a train......did it many times as a kid.

That won't fit in a standard slab.

The first is - as stated - a blank cent planchet... little value but good to keep in your collection. The second appears to be PMD (post mint damage).... no value at all beyond 1 cent. Cheers, RickO
