Wow Check this out....Calling All Error Experts...what do we have here?? 1970 Cent

Hi All-
Care to opine? Rims on edge are perfect, obverse is a mess, reverse seems problem free, though the C & the E in cent look recut.
Thanks for weighing in....any real value?


Regards, RJ

    It's probably worth about $30. People tend to like strong wrinkles on their struck-through die cap errors - like yours.

    Find this in change?

    Found in a roll of face value cents that I bought as part of a bigger deal....was breaking rolls to take to the coin machine at the bank.... very distorted and wavy in hand....pretty good error was my thought.

    This. The thinner the cap, the more design you see.

    Now I have learned a coin fact for today. I did not recognize that as an error initially.
