KisNap Valued Member United States 462 Posts	Posted 12/23/2011 11:28 am I personally wouldn't keep it because I have a bunch like that, but if you don't have any it's a nice educational piece. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/23/2011 2:12 pm The post that froms the 8's center is broken off. Thus the center won't be formed on you coin or anyone struck after that event. Report this Post to the Staff
wz1f Valued Member United States 224 Posts	Posted 12/23/2011 3:17 pm Hi Coop, so does that mean that this coin could be one of a kind or one of thousands, I have not heard or seen any more like this. You have been collecting for a long time, have you seen this one before>? thanks Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/23/2011 5:25 pm It may be one in hundreds/thousands/tens of thousands. Depending how many coins were struck after the pin came off till retirement of the die. Not extra value for this, just a Wheat cent value. Report this Post to the Staff
wz1f Valued Member United States 224 Posts	Posted 12/23/2011 8:58 pm ok Thanks Coop for that info. I think I will just put it aside and keep it for now. Thank You. Report this Post to the Staff
coinseeker Valued Member United States 119 Posts	Posted 12/24/2011 07:45 am The same malady that affects "D" mintmarks from time to time, the post breaks off the die resulting in a "filled D". Population is literally impossible to estimate because of the variables involved. Some coin searchers simply put them back into circulation because they essentially have no added value to speak of. Others keep them as an oddity. It's a highly subjective thing. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 12/24/2011 4:58 pm Small die chips and breaks like this are a novelty at best and aren't really worth keeping if you've got the rest of the coin market in mind. Basically keep it if you want, but if you're only collecting coins that have merit and value to others - toss all the 'filled letter' coins - none of them have any marketable value. They are common and very, very few people would care to buy a collection of them. Report this Post to the Staff
