Nice error!
Easy $800-$1000
You need to double check the weight of it though , could be on a foreign planchet . Here is one 4.1g papau new guina or new zealand .

Looks to big to be a 1-cent planchet - based on what we see from 1-cent blanks struck by 25-cent dies. The colour does not look right - I think it could be struck on a foreign planchet. Nice error, thanks for sharing.

Very nice to get from your father. I am surprised to see an error on such a recent coin.

The dealer originally offered $0.01 for the coin, then generously upped his offer to $1.00.

Can you please post the weight and (I am serious) if the coin is magnetic?

I just weighed the coin on the kitchen scale that I have, and the coin weighs 4g. However, this scale does not do decimals, unfortunately. So I am not sure if this number is rounded up, or rounded down.

As of right now, the coin is not for sale. My dad is still the owner of the coin, so if he decides to sell it, CCF will be the first to know.
