So theirs an ad on ebay for a 1999 Susan b anthony that appears to be struck on penny stock or missjng the.clad layers. I cant find any information about it and was wondering if anyone had heard of such a thing or knew as.to its estimated value. The link is below. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/view...=37949137077 |

Well, I can tell you this much: It's not struck on penny stock. If it was, it wouldn't have the silver colored metal on the reverse of the coin. Other than that, I can't give much insight on this coin. You'll have to wait for an expert to reply that knows more about it than I.

Looks like an acid job to me. Definately PMD and not an error. Dave |

Really bad acid trip...they are on if they thought a penny blank ad silver in it. I would also wager someone with too much time on their hands made it smaller in diameter as well.  |

I don't think it's an acid job. Would any evidence of the devices at all be left had the thickness been reduced that much by acid?

Was thinking the same thing as SsuperDdave. The coin is about 1/4th as thick and is considerably smaller in diameter, yet there are still faint lines on the edge of the rim. If it was acid, I'd think that the lines on the rim and the design would be toast considering that more than half of the coin would have been melted away, 5 grams of it. I could definitely be wrong though!

I agree with the others that this is a acid job whereas the seller is playing on someones ignorance.
The one thing I don't like about this seller is that when checking on his feedback for past transactions, his auctions are listed as "PRIVATE", so you can't track his past items and see if this is his first error (NOT) of this type...

In fact, you can still see some of the unique interior angles. That's not an SBA the seller has it stacked on. But you can't show me a coin acid-etched to less than half its' thickness with even hair features still showing. Just not happening. |

Quote:That's not an SBA the seller has it stacked on. Are you sure about that? It has the same inner rim design, the part that makes it 11 sided. Also, judging by the space between the letters and the rim, I think the coin is missing the entire 11 sided inner rim design. That seems like a considerably large chunk taken out of the diameter to me. If you measure the distance by using one of the letters on the coin you will notice that the space between the words and the rim is about 1/2 what it should be. The spacing looks way off yet there's still what appears to be some reeding. Edited by TheCentMan

Y'all bring up a lot of good points. What do you think about the possibility that someone made this in their own little shop?  Edited by CoinsKelly

My guess is that someone made it themselves, but I have no way to confirm. In one of the pictures of the coin the edge looks very flat/blunt as if it's edge was shaved off. However, on another part of the coin, there appears to be faint reeding even though there shouldn't be. All I do know, is I'd stay very far away from this coin, that's for sure. :)
