funny thing is while I agree it appears to be an asphalt find, I received it in change at a restaurant! Truly one of the most beat up coins I've ever received.

Well - - if the first number is a 2, then I imagine the second number is a 0. I am pretty sure I see a 2.

slab it and put it on the bay. Someone will buy it. Just remember to say your grandfather gave it to you as his dying wish.

Actually this is the new Cent being sent out by the Mint. It was made this way so dates and Mint marks are not required. Also, coins like this will stay in circulation since no one will collect them.

I think I should put it as an end coin on an "unsearched" Wheat penny roll stating it's a rare error coin!

My sincere congratulations. I doubt anyone can match you for a worse wild find.


I found 75% of a Zincoln with poop stuck to it. I threw it away.

I call these coins street finds as they look like they have been in the street and run over for a long time. I get these quite a bit in change.
