Camrdaddy19 Valued Member United States 109 Posts	Posted 06/21/2022 5:01 pm I spent the evening looking at pennies and this one struck me as odd. What do you make of it? Worth saving? Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96315 Posts	Posted 06/21/2022 5:19 pm The L is usually that close to the rim sometimes riding up on the side of it. the lower part of the L is missing, could be due to damage or even grease.

Camrdaddy19 Valued Member United States 109 Posts	Posted 06/21/2022 7:05 pm What's with that thin layer of copper folded over that part of the edge? It looks like it was mented that way.. I tried to get better pictures but but it was a struggle. Hunt Report this Post to the Staff

Graffixchild New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 06/21/2022 8:31 pm Hi there. If you really think you have something I would send it off to be graded. It costs about 30 bucks and may not be worth it, BUT. It is worth mentioning. I know some people have coins that have nothing wrong with them and they see errors anyway, mainly because they want to. There is another side though. I have noticed that the opinions given by some people that seem to be knowledgeable on this site or entirely opposite. Even if there is an error they may refuse to acknowledge it or be so dismissive they truly don't. I had an 87 d penny I was told have some plating issue that added no value and that it was worth 1 cent. I sent off to get it graded and it was a ms-065 brown DDO. Not worth selling now, because I paid for the grading, but it is worth 4-8 dollars. not just 1 cent or a "spender" as I was told. SO. Both sides can be wrong, and noone knows everything. Have a nice day. Report this Post to the Staff
Camrdaddy19 Valued Member United States 109 Posts	Posted 06/22/2022 12:04 am First, I said I was "looking at pennies", but I called the posted coin a CENT..didn't I? Who says "I was looking at some cents". Also, I am hear to learn, that's why I ask questions. I appreciate all the feedback. I'm learning a lot. Especially from Dearborn. Many thanks Sir.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/22/2022 11:20 am If it is showing on the outside edge of the coin, it might be a small strike debris on that area. If it fold over it could be a small attached lamination? Hard to say which, but the premium would be very modest if any. But that is what it could be. Report this Post to the Staff
