As you can see that the date 1986 with only the numbers 9 8 6 looking double. Also would any of you consider sending this penny to have it graded for the possibility of an error, Only if its worth it Image: 01.jpg 31.42 KB Image: 02.jpg 28.04 KB Image: 03.jpg 32.35 KB Image: 04.jpg 31.63 KB Image: 05.jpg 48.86 KB Image: 06.jpg 33.87 KB Report this Post to the Staff

Don Smith New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 01/24/2008 7:45 pm I recently found a 1986 D Memorial cent just as you described. I sent it to Littleton Coin Co and they called it a "shadowed" coin not a true dd. They could not put a value on it because they had no knowledge of any and therefore nothing to compare it to for placing a value. Please respond. Don Report this Post to the Staff
