Found this cent in a pile of pennies I had. Possibly mint state?   In the right light it really shines:  |

I didn't even notice the filled 9! Is that a mint error?

MS60/61. That filled 9 is likely a die chip, cool!

WHAT? a "circulated" Lincoln Cent as MS!, come on folks. It's circulated, discolored(lack of full bloom luster), has definite wear on high points ( coat, ear, beard ). The reverse shows wear, rim is terrible. NO WAY is this more than an AU55, and that's being gracious! I challenge you to send it to a TPG and see, sheesh! Not tryin' to burst a bubble, but please be real and truthful, grading is important. BTW, error is considered a "die break", the inside piece of the die has broken off causing that. It is a good error to find, uncommon on that date, usually see late 50's early 60's... |

C'mon. BadThad is entitled to his opinion, just like you are. We don't need sarcasm on this forum. Please stop it.  Edited by Coinfrog

OP says he found it in a pile, suggesting it's been knocked about. Either way, no value. Who cares?
