Koinz Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 08/06/2016 4:27 pm They were polygon shaped from 1983-1996 (I think that was the last year, maybe 1995). I have several of them myself. Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9865 Posts	Posted 08/06/2016 6:05 pm I agree with Pacificcoin. The auction item is correct. It is a 1991 12 sided cent. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 08/06/2016 6:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5246 Posts	Posted 08/06/2016 7:52 pm It is correct only if you assume that any coin not round is "odd". Non-round coins are extremely common in the world; I take issue with them being called odd. It just happens that the US never used them. It is just a silly marketing gimmick to sell coins for 10 times what they are worth. Report this Post to the Staff
