 I found this in my loose change. I never saw anything like this before. Can anyone comment?

 To CCF! Wow, you got that in change?! NICE! This is a mint error, and I would say this is a nice off center strike, with a date! Great find, might be worth some $$ if you send it in to a TPG |

What surprises me, it must have been circulating for some time, and nobody kept it, except for me. I would like to have it appraised, but I have no idea where to go.

Welcome to Coin Community, res18fgl. I think we could come up with a pretty clear picture of your coin between the massed experience of the Forum.  An off-center strike, looking like only the obverse "hammer"die was out of alignment. I'm guessing the reverse looks normal but weak where there's no obverse? Is there a mint mark? These are dramatic and interesting errors carrying a substantial added value. They're not as uncommon as one might think, though, with Jeffersons. Yours has the cachet of a clear date, which helps value as well. All the same, this is more a $50-75 error than a mortgage payoff. Chances are it was in a collection until just recently when it was stolen (maybe by the kid in the house) and spent. |

Nice find! I'd love to find one of these. Good to know there is hope for finding one in circulation, even a year 1976! Few little scratches but most of the detail is there and not worn : ) Do you mind posting the reverse?

to CCF. It should have a decent value for being a dated un-centered strike and a bit more of a value for being a 1976 IMHO. John1  |

Very nice, thanks for posting the other side of the coin! Looks like it's still got it's steps too with a lot of details; good signs it hasn't been circulating much. Can't imagine the cashier didn't notice and grab it for herself!
