I found this going through about $20 dollars worth of pennies from one of my drawers. The coin has a bit of oxidation or something on it (the black coloring). I don't want to try cleaning it or anything as I don't want to damage it. Sorry about the picture quality, I took this with my Flip video camera and a magnifying glass haha. Any ideas as to how much one of these would be worth concidering the damage? How rare are is finding one of these?  Edited by VioletBerserker

I don't know the value but I have been looking for one since 1984 and have never found one. I started this hobby in 1971 and have searched over one million cents so congrats on your find  John1  |

$25-$35 at most, but that's far more than you paid for it!

I have been hoping to find one of those in my searches for the past year. Hang on to it. It will be worth more in another 10 years. (I think.) |

Since you've been through so many of them, what kind of errors have you found? Which seem to be plentiful/hard to find in the lincoln memorial series?

aww cool! a 1983 DDO hmm I always just look at the reverse of those for the DDR maybe I should look at more things. I'd ask you each coin I should be looking at closely but that would be a really long list. Is there like a website to tell me all of the keys? Well the error/varieties anyway. |
