buffalojohn New Member United States 31 Posts	Posted 02/11/2012 3:32 pm The 7 on yours is not level with the 0. Also the 9 on yours has an open loop, points towards mint mark not other numbers. Other way to tell is 9 should be "pointed" on both ends and LIBERTY should be weak---HTH---John Edited by buffalojohn 02/11/2012 3:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff

buffalojohn New Member United States 31 Posts	Posted 02/11/2012 3:45 pm It looks like the ear took a beating! Does it have scrape marks? Looks like it was mashed, almost like road rash. OUCH!---John Report this Post to the Staff
daniels Pillar of the Community United States 1620 Posts	Posted 02/11/2012 4:04 pm No it doesn't have any scratches on it that looks like road rash I don't know really I just noticed it when I took that pic I'll take another one with less light Report this Post to the Staff
buffalojohn New Member United States 31 Posts	Posted 02/11/2012 7:23 pm To be honest I don't think that ear is a die or mint error of any sort. It is probably worth copper melt value seeing as though it was minted before the cent went to copper clad zinc in 1982. Report this Post to the Staff
