I found this in a roll today and was wondering if this is one? There also seems to have reverse rim Cud by you too? is there any premium for these type of coins or just fun to find? Thanks Edited by PennyPicker 01/14/2017 9:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Check the edge to make sure it's not damage. In answer to your question, the value would be what you're willing to sell it for. A nice one like this would probably sell for $3.00 easily. The damage on Lincoln's face holds it down some. Report this Post to the Staff

So to me they are a common copper cent. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 01/15/2017 11:26 pm The copper pennies were made until mid 1982. Yours could be caused by roller lines or an improper alloy mix. No one knows for sure. Quote: You also never see any lamination errors (cracking, peeling, flaking) in the narrowly striped cents. I agree the dirty rollers theory is very possible. The improper alloy mix can be caused by an improper combination of elements or an insufficient amount of mixing them. Therefore I think another strong possibility is an under mixed alloy. Anyone that's ever mixed a can of paint knows the swirls (stripes) start out wide, and then get narrower as it gets closer to being fully mixed. I think stripes on alloyed coins are from insufficiently mixed alloys. The narrower striped ones don't crack, peel, and flake because they are better mixed. Mike and I discussed this about a year after the article in Coin World was published and neither theory was ruled out. Report this Post to the Staff
