Wondering if it is rare and if its worth anything? I have more photos here. http://s15.beta.photobucket.com/use...0stuff/Penny Report this Post to the Staff

Vance Valued Member Canada 50 Posts	Posted 02/21/2013 10:06 pm Nice! Looks authentic to me! Could bring $125-$225+ at auction. Report this Post to the Staff
The_Stuff New Member Canada 10 Posts	Posted 02/21/2013 10:11 pm well more then I thought it could be! lol. the inside flat lip of the top of the bird there I originally thought was hit by a hammer or some one played in the vice but then I noticed that the inside had the same raised beveled dots in it as the penny does all the way around. the queen's head side there kinda looks weird. Ill take the "mother ship" camera with me tomorrow and see what I can get for photos. These were taken with my iPhone. Report this Post to the Staff

The_Stuff New Member Canada 10 Posts	Posted 02/22/2013 1:38 pm So I see stuff on the forum about sending coins away to get authenticated etc. do they do the error coins? Also should I be putting this coin in the safety deposit box? lol Report this Post to the Staff

Easy there.... if it was BU red, you might get $100 for it, if several people wanted the coin. It is too much off-centre for the 2nd strike, there are no elements on that little bit, other than beads. I would think that coin might reach $60 in an open auction like ebay...

Scissel Pillar of the Community Canada 693 Posts	Posted 02/24/2013 11:49 am I agree with SPP - There's not as much collector demand when it's that far off center. It's a nice find & I like the positioning of the error at about 12 o'clock. Report this Post to the Staff
