Is This Black 2006 Penny A Jackpot?

Can't add anything...



to the CCF!

Not a "jackpot", your coin is corroded & disintegrating, the cause.... environmental damage & exposure to elements. If you send your coin into a TPG, you're going to be throwing money away. If you're adamant your coin is a unicorn, I'd suggest (first) taking it into your local coin dealer/shop & just get their opinion, then come back & tell us what they told you.

Agreed with the comments. Just a corroded cent. PMD. It's a spender.

ebay shyster auctions and clickbait misinformation have a lot of people asking the same questions you do:



Chips as in die chips or missing metal from the coin being hit while in circulation? Coin,like everything else, get damaged when handled, dropped, thrown, slid on the floor, etc.

Insignificant (raised) die chips have always been a part of coins and are not valued by the hobby.



When you know the die making process, you will understand why extra design elements (not on every coin from that year) seem to be on a coin, that extra element has to be post mint, paridolia, or inconsequential things as mentioned above.

One of the biggest and worst pieces of misinformation born of ebay shyster videos is that the so-called floating roof is anything rare or valuable. When you know what die polishing is (done to all dies to preserve their life), you will know shallow details of the die are commonly polished off making something for ebay shysters to hopefully make a big deal out of and sucker people out of their money. Sadly, when a term like this gets thrown around enough, the grading companies start to see dollar signs and offer to mention something like this on a label. But, just as with the 2005 "detached leg Buffalo nickel," these type of things do not hold their value with time, and people end up losing a lot of money over them.

At first 2005 detached leg buffalos were selling for hundreds of dollars. Now mainly only the MS70 examples bring any real premium and that is b/c the slab has an MS70 on it so there is still a bit of a competitive market for these slabs from people filling their registry sets.



Pareidolia. And again, if you will take the time to understand how coin dies are made you will know this is just Pareidolia. Your answers will be clear once you take the time to learn that info.



See above. Die chips are common and unless huge and dramatic are ignored by the actual hobby (though not on ebay!)



By saying "no disrespect,"I hope you can also take something typed in reply as just fact and not consider it to be disrespectful.
1. Why in the world would anyone here tell someone they don't personally know , you, lies about a coin? You are being too sensitive thinking anyone here would single out a stranger to pick on, and certainly there have been no secret threads of "who do we gang up on today?"
2. You came here seeing expert advice, which was wise of you, but now, although you say you are new to coins, you are saying that somehow you know more than the experts you came to for help!

These ideas about what you are seeing on your coin are posted in other threads to his forum all the time in response to people who have been misguided by ebay shyster auctions. We have a LOT of people coming here for help who think think they are going to hit the jackpot with every tiny little anomaly they see on a coin.

3. I a hoping since you are a newbie seeking help that you will take the TIME to review the things said (such as the link to how coin dies are made).

Otherwise al I can say is we tried. Go ahead and pay the 200.00 to send it to PCGS (they charge membership fees etc.). Tell PCGS everything you see on it, and have them send you back your penny in what we call a body bag with a note attached that you have a damaged coin.

As you get further into the legitimate coin hobby, you may also come up against the reality that coin grading companies have a main goal of having you as a customer and being paid by you.

In contrast, here you will find friends not wanting any money, just as knowledgeable (and moreso as proven in posts on the forum) as the coin grading company "experts", and our main goal is to help you b/c that is what we like to do.

Excellent, detailed, thoughtful discussion--one which could be had here almost daily in the Coin Community Forum (Family). Thanks to all who took the time to craft meaningful input!

Sorry for my aggressive remarks earlier, I thought I really found something smh from now on I'm just going to ask, sorry guys
