Henry Reynolds New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 05/19/2017 6:07 pm I found this while cleaning out a jewelry box. It was labeled by someone else as a 1939 P Penny Error. I see no obvious error. Is there one, and if so, what would be the estimated value? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 05/19/2017 7:26 pm Do you still have the label? It might give us a clue as to why the previous owner thought it was an error. Report this Post to the Staff
Henry Reynolds New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 05/19/2017 11:14 pm It was in an envelope, nothing special about it or the writing. Since it was so worn from circulation wear and tear, I felt that the odds of an error coin circulating so long were an extreme long shot. Thanks for taking the time to look and share your thoughts!

Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 05/19/2017 11:27 pm I see nothing here that screams error, but how about die rotation error? We wouldn't be able to tell that from the images here. On an unrelated note, the color looks funky to me, almost as if artificially colored. Notice how the fields are one color in the flattest areas, but a different color at the edge of the designs. Report this Post to the Staff

Henry Reynolds New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 05/20/2017 11:30 am I noticed the "fat" 3 but I don't know enough about a double die. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/20/2017 11:55 am The '3' looks like it was flattened in circulation. Just a circulated Wheat cent with damage on the rim. Report this Post to the Staff
