1962penny Valued Member United States 173 Posts	Posted 08/10/2019 12:41 am Hello all, found this little guy while roll hunting. Its pretty beat up, but just wanted a quick confirmation that this is indeed a mis-aligned die? Having part of "LIBERTY" and the date cut off makes it the most dramatic example I have yet. Based on condition, I'm guessing its not worth anything over face, but would you guys keep it around? I think I shall. also curious if there's any other markers to indicate what the date on this coin is. Thanks in advance for all your input.

Since part of the design is missing on the obverse, it will have a value more than face, even though in circulated condition. I am not qualified to give an estimate on value. Wait for experts to speak. Report this Post to the Staff

fioti Pillar of the Community United States 4212 Posts	Posted 08/10/2019 10:33 am Nice bush-find! I can no longer bear, letting a decent MAD go for 10 bucks or so. It gives me the feeling, that my time is nearly worthless, considering the 100s or 1000s of hours it took to find. It' much more gratifying to find a YN who's into E&Vs, for me anyway. BTW, I'm leaning towards a 7. Edited by fioti 08/10/2019 10:48 am Report this Post to the Staff
