Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74603 Posts	Posted 07/13/2019 7:38 pm Coinfrog, that's actually a Retained Interior Die Break on the head, not a Delamination. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/13/2019 8:29 pm For god's sake, this thread just started an hour ago! What's the hurry? Edited by Coinfrog 07/13/2019 8:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
johnnycat500 New Member United States 20 Posts	Posted 07/13/2019 9:02 pm Thank you all for your opinions! Since I'm new to this, should I have someone take a closer look at this coin? This is out of my roll of wheat cents I bought off of ebay. Would it be worth a buck or two? Edited by johnnycat500 07/13/2019 9:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 07/14/2019 02:33 am My first thought was also die break but Coinfrog has me questioning myself. I'll defer to Coop's judgment should he choose to enlighten us. Report this Post to the Staff
johnnycat500 New Member United States 20 Posts	Posted 07/14/2019 11:14 am Does this coin have any value over face value? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34426 Posts	Posted 07/14/2019 11:23 am @JC500, have you tried looking at completed ebay sales of similar coins? For sure most wheat cents have a slight (2x-5x) premium over face value. I don't know enough as to whether you would get much of a premium beyond that for this defect.

johnnycat500 New Member United States 20 Posts	Posted 07/14/2019 11:35 am Thanks Spence. I found a few similar coins on ebay. About $3 or $4 is the asking price. I was just curious as I want to keep it. Report this Post to the Staff

Evan7 Pillar of the Community United States 1070 Posts	Posted 07/14/2019 11:40 am This one is outside my knowledge. I was gonna say just damage but obviously I'd be wrong! Good luck with this one. Cheers Report this Post to the Staff
