Theartofsarah New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted 02/18/2025 1:22 pm I am a novice coin collector and found this gem of an error in my pocket change. I can't seem to find anything similar in this year and denomination. What should I do? Should I send it in to get graded? Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15395 Posts	Posted 02/18/2025 1:32 pm to the CCF I'm sorry to say that is not an error but a badly damaged coin. It did not leave the mint like this. Value is 10 cents and absolutely not worthy of the cost of grading. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

If you click on the hotlink "report this post to staff" (as someone else did) then we can fix these right away. If you mention it here as a reply in the thread then we don't always catch it. Thx.
