MavamQ New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 10/15/2023 6:13 pm I have a coin collection that I have not did much with since I was 14, 54 years ago. I just pulled it out of the closet and inside a paper towel I found this penny, Is it real, does it have value. MavamQ Report this Post to the Staff

lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1657 Posts	Posted 10/15/2023 6:24 pm Welcome to the forum. That is a legitimate off-center strike. It certainly has some value, I would expect around $15 or so. Nice find! Edited by lcutler 10/15/2023 6:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15425 Posts	Posted 10/16/2023 05:24 am to the CCF Yes, that is a nice off-center coin. Quote: as for the date - we can rule out 1981, but that's about it We can also rule out 1980. How do we know this? You provided an accurate weight that ensures this coin is struck on a copper plated zinc planchet - and that started in 1982.
