Found this yesterday while coin roll searching. the date looks like 2615. I have taken plenty of pics but I'm in a hurry so ill post what I can and what I cant I will when I get back. Kinda figured everyone should see this date asap.

ive zoomed up 200x and you can see that 2nd digit is a 6. first is a 2.

Looks to me like it could be a Grease Filled Die, that made the 2 and 0 not come out completely making it look like a 6. It is hard to tell from the pictures but is there detail missing on "In God We Trust" and Liberty as well?
Rest in Peace

Can you post some photos of the reverse? I don't think it came from the future but clearer photos would help.

And I thought cash was going to be phased out soon. Well, the future has proved us wrong again

No, it's definitely a Grease Filled Die, with the key tells such as weak or missing details with mushy surfaces, not only the date but also "Liberty".

Here is more pictures, I can take as many as needed. Light is a problem tho. You can actually see 2615 with the naked eye. Pretty OP grease.

Probably 2015 from what I can see. Looks like a nice struck through error (grease)

When they get in the 90% missing range, they are a little bit more interesting.

I have a 1943 Penny that is missing most of the 4 due to a grease error. I looked this up and it was common enough that it didnt add much value to it. Just a cool conversation peice in that instance.

Rule of thumb, nothing is worth anything until two people want to buy the same item and both have money. If you list it for sale, I would not be surprised if it sold but day to day it might vary from $.10 to $5 or more. All depends on what people think of it.

would a dime thats quarter thickness if not thicker and proper weight be worth keeping?

This happens when the setup rim is rolled to much. It make the rim raised. (even proof coins have thicker rims) but the planchet is normal thickness. Rim rims are just taller. I've seen that on cents and saved them. But I don't expect to get a premium for them. When you hold them in you hand you can note the edge is thicker. If the weight was a lot heavier, then they might be interesting. But the machine would probably catch/jam them if a quarter thickness coin was put into the machine. So just a little more height of the rim won't help you retire. Sorry

Well it's obvious to me, this one came from 600 yrs. in the future. Since it came backwards in time, it is brand new and carries no value. It will however, be worth a fortune in 600 yrs. Hang on to it for now, and in 2615 have it age tested.
