Aaron1978 Valued Member United States 148 Posts	Posted 09/22/2013 6:24 pm Hi, I just got two rolls of these 1970s penny's and would like your opinion about them. It seem to me that all of them do not have polls holding the roof up? Is there something more? Your input will be appreciated. Thank you.

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 09/22/2013 8:25 pm Never saw one like that before. Lincoln seems to be missing too but that could be due to the brightness of the photo. Keeper. Might not be worth anything but it is interesting. Report this Post to the Staff
rpmes Valued Member United States 388 Posts	Posted 09/22/2013 10:30 pm I've seen people call them Floating Roofs, as to rarity and value, the experts can chime in for you there. Nice Find! Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/23/2013 05:32 am I agree with over polished dies.I think it is cool looking and would keep it. Try selling one on the bay and see how it goes.If it gets a good price sell more of them. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
