1inabullion New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted 09/10/2023 02:17 am I seen a penny on ebay graded by PCGS priced at over $500,000.00 that is real similar to the one I have. So I'm just curious as to why that one is so valuable and if it actually is and not just somebody foolishly trying to get rich then mine should hold similar value? Yes or No?

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73712 Posts	Posted 09/10/2023 02:56 am Your coin was struck Off Center and shows Split Plating Doubling. https://www.error-ref.com/split-plating-doubling/ As far as that 1999 Broadstruck Cent goes, it's definitely not worth what they're asking for it. Broadstrikes are plentiful for 1999, and easy to obtain on ebay. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

A person can ask whatever price they want,that does not mean the item is worth that amount. 1999 cents are known for errors and are kinda common.Your coin is nice,but split plating can start to rot in time.

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 09/10/2023 5:19 pm to the CCF! I have at least 10-1999 Lincoln Memorial cents with off-center and broad-stuck errors in my collection. Your coin is nice off-center, and worth a few bucks, but as noted, you're not going to get rich on this one. We've already had a post on the half million dollar listing on ebay. It will never sell for that much. http://goccf.com/t/166229&whichpage=177 ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!
