steve123 Pillar of the Community Canada 805 Posts	Posted 10/02/2012 10:32 pm Wert, it is a 1994, as far as I can tell. I can barely see the two nines with further scrutiny. Anyone have any thoughts if this be a mint error or maybe it did get stuck in a burnishing/polishing machine somewhere in the last 18 years as previously suggested by Wade... Thanks!

pennysaver Pillar of the Community Canada 937 Posts	Posted 10/03/2012 11:26 pm I've seen pennies like this too. Any ideas how long it would have to be stuck in the dryer to get all worn out like this? Report this Post to the Staff
pennysaver Pillar of the Community Canada 937 Posts	Posted 10/03/2012 11:28 pm I've also seen them on ebay touted as a "rare capped die" coin (or some variation thereof). Don't be fooled by cheap imitations! Report this Post to the Staff
