kyleg02247 Valued Member United States 84 Posts	Posted 09/12/2018 3:25 pm Hey guys, can someone help me out with this coin if they know what would be going on with it, and if it is a mint error and approximate value if known. I am thinking of purchasing it for $50 and I was not sure if that is worth it or if I should pass on it. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75007 Posts	Posted 09/12/2018 11:01 pm Not an error by any means. It's a counterstamped Indian Head cent, but it's nowhere worth 50 dollars though. Take a pass on it, and don't buy it, as it's a ripoff. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
