Velzee Valued Member United States 102 Posts	Posted 08/13/2019 3:06 pm Hi all, it's me again. I recently started coin roll hunting for the first time, and have racked up a sizable amount of variety year pennies to go through. I started again today and found this cent to be interesting(unfortunately rough condition), possibly one of the RPMs, I have attached photos of it below(forgive the rough quality; they were taken from my phone through my microscope), and a comparison to a known one. I would love to hear your opinions on it, and maybe even its potential value. Report this Post to the Staff
