CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 05/24/2012 3:12 pm I see the extra earlobe and the die pit between "WE" and "TRUST". When I'm sorting through my cents I don't even examine ones that look like that, they generally just go into a pile of culls unless they're a date that I only get in small numbers (e.g. I look even at corroded 1970-S cents because I am lucky to even get one in a box). I don't want to find one like this. The time I spend looking at an ugly coin like this could instead be spent looking at a nice one which is just as likely to be a variety.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/24/2012 3:16 pm When I spot a damged/zinc rotted/extremely off color coin, I toss them, not even looking to see what is there. I figure I would never want a coin like that, so I throw them back. Report this Post to the Staff

lucleus Valued Member United States 165 Posts	Posted 05/26/2012 02:03 am They usually go right back in the box, but I was able to spot the ear at a clance and had to take a closer look. Sure enough, there it was. What an emotional roller coaster ride. Report this Post to the Staff
