It's definitely a one of a kind error. Also, a very valuable error as well.

The US mint I believe still sells coins in bulk totes so something like this could just fall into the bulk bin and is sent out, and may I add a truly legal to own aluminum penny.

Oh yeah. I mean it's not impossible to happen, but it would be a very rare occurrence. Do they really still sell bulk bags?  Errers and Varietys.

Yes you can buy Ballistic Bags directly from the mint. Cost is roughly face +250, you have to pick them up yourself they don't deliver, provide your own transportation and forklift to move the pallet, and pay a refundable deposit on the special pallet. |

This one is 50K in quarters. 200,000 x 5.7 grams = 1,140,000 grams = 2513.26 pounds.

Wow! That's very heavy! It weighs just as much as a small car.

2000 or 2001 was the last year they sold the sealed bags of cents. They would find errors in these then.   CoopHome : Struck on Feeder Finger Sullivan Edited by coop
