Coinfrog, Coop isn't here though.  Errers and Varietys.

Thank you all for your opinions! Since I'm new to this, should I have someone take a closer look at this coin? This is out of my roll of wheat cents I bought off of ebay. Would it be worth a buck or two? Edited by johnnycat500

My first thought was also die break but Coinfrog has me questioning myself. I'll defer to Coop's judgment should he choose to enlighten us. |

Does this coin have any value over face value? Thanks

@JC500, have you tried looking at completed ebay sales of similar coins? For sure most wheat cents have a slight (2x-5x) premium over face value. I don't know enough as to whether you would get much of a premium beyond that for this defect. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Thanks Spence. I found a few similar coins on ebay. About $3 or $4 is the asking price. I was just curious as I want to keep it. |

This one is outside my knowledge. I was gonna say just damage but obviously I'd be wrong! Good luck with this one.
Cheers

I agree with lawest 100% here. It's a Retained Interior Die Break as stated before, not a Lamination error. You can even see the breakage of that piece as well.
Errers and Varietys.

 RIDB Mid 50s cents have a lot of them. Call it a cracked skull, maybe a spiked head. |
