Tmangan85 New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 02/24/2019 2:42 pm Hi everyone I was going through my change yesterday and I happened to come across this penny the 3rd number is only partially there it is a circle with a solid dot at the top of the circle also has damage on the reverse side of coin any help on whether this is an error coin or not would be helpful thanks Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 02/24/2019 2:50 pm to the CCF! The 3rd number is an 8. What you are seeing is a die chip or broken post that has filled the top circle of the 8. This is very common. The reverse is purely damage. Nothing worth an extra premium.

Tmangan85 New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 02/24/2019 2:59 pm So would it be worth holding onto? Or just toss it back in the change jar? Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34423 Posts	Posted 02/24/2019 3:02 pm I think that it is both an interesting example of a broken post on the die and a cent that is worth exactly face value. Save it if you want, but there is no premium.
