KisNap Valued Member United States 462 Posts	Posted 08/29/2009 12:09 am I was searching through some old pocket change and came across this 1957 Wheat penny which looks like its 9 is filled in. It's definately not the sharp looking nine you'd expect. I think the 5 also looks a little mis shapen. What is this? Did I finally find an error coin and is it worth anything? I appreciate your help. Thank you. Here are some large closeup pics of the coin. http://kisnap.angelfire.com/FilledIn.html Report this Post to the Staff

KisNap Valued Member United States 462 Posts	Posted 08/29/2009 12:58 am Is it worth anything or are die chips so common that it's really no big deal and therefore equal to 1 cent? The penny itself is in very good condition. In other words, is this special? Would it sell? Thanks for the replies! Report this Post to the Staff
