 There is no damage on the other side.

It looks more like a delaminated planchet to me, rather than being a struck through.

Well it is more of an indent. Can lamination errors be like this? By the way it is not blurry. It is just how the scan took it.

Nice delamination! When the metal is rolled sometimes it folds in on itself. Sometimes it doesn't bond to its self that is what caused the rough finish.

Nice delamination!! I have quite a few of these in the 1-cent and nickel dollar series. Are you planning to keep the coin or sell it?

Mechman, I am curious as to what your avatar is... if I squint hard enough, it looks like a crystalline mass of stibnite or arsenopyrite...

How much do these go for. Looks like a nice grade though.  Just noticed but something looks weird with the lettering on the back. Edited by tristen1230

Generally, if full red uncirculated, they sell for about $20. Generally, the rule of thumb is, the larger the denomination, the older the coin and most importantly, the larger the "wow factor" - the more valuable the error. One-cent errors are probably the most common out there. That said, errors seem to be popular now, so you might get anywhere from $30 to $60 for that in an open auction.

I don't think I will sell it. It is such a nice coin.

Good call. I think error coins are that much more interesting, when you discover them yourself...
