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.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

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