mslemp13 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 06/11/2013 1:15 pm So I found this penny in my attic, and it was in an envelope that said "Save this penny". My question is its significance, and or if the penny had been replace and the original taken out.I can take more detailed pictures if it turns out to be worthwhile.

Perhaps someone thought that damage was an error? Report this Post to the Staff
denco7 Pillar of the Community United States 2543 Posts	Posted 06/11/2013 2:09 pm There is nothing significant about a 1968 Lincoln Cent. The only reason that anyone would want to save it, is if it is a double die. A doubling of the date or the writing on the coin. For that you need better up close photos of the datre and lettering.

Merc Man Pillar of the Community United States 561 Posts	Posted 06/11/2013 2:51 pm Doesn't appear to be anything special about it. However, since it is only a penny I would save it as the envelop says and not risk angering whoever put that there. No need cursing yourself over one cent! Report this Post to the Staff
