One of the biggest things to look for on cents (and larger denominations) is the notching on the corners of the letters and other devices. Your coin has no notching either. While yours isn't valuable to a collector, I would save this one for educational purposes. Hope this helps. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Edited by Petespockets55 11/13/2020 06:35 am Report this Post to the Staff
