koinpro Pillar of the Community United States 1781 Posts	Posted 07/19/2017 9:27 pm With all that said many cents and other denominations can be found over and below normal tolerances. They rarely attract much collector interest as the error is not obvious and considered minor by most. There are of course exceptions to this rule. Report this Post to the Staff
