Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74290 Posts	Posted 08/26/2017 4:10 pm This die is at its end of it's lifespan. You can see how the letters are strenching into the design and how the details are not as sharp. VLDS (Very Late Die State). Because of this, it's only worth 1 cents. Errers and Varietys.

Believe it or not, the mint makes money minting the copper plated Zinc cents and they do lose money minting nickels. If they got rid of the cents being minted the nickels would be gone too!!
