aamstrup New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 07/17/2012 2:39 pm My name is Andy - rookie collector due to passed on coins from a parent. Had the collection for some time, but just started to sort, research, etc. I appreciate any help anyone can provide. In sorting pennies yesterday, I found a Lincoln Penny with a clearly raised 71, where the date 1971 should be. It is not worn, and the 71 jumps off the coin, as does the S below the date. I can't find any reference to any Lincoln Penny error coins in 1971. The question is - is this a one of a kind error then, and what would be the approximate value? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

And here are some great reference sites to help you get started on looking for varieties and errors: www.coppercoins.com www.koinpro.com www.varietyvista.com www.conecaonline.org Report this Post to the Staff
