I went to the local Walgreens today and asked the cashier if she had any new pennies in her cash drawer. She said she didn't but that she had found one about a week back that was blank on one side. I told her to bring it to work and the next time I was in I would buy it from her. My problem is I want to be fair with her and don't really know what it's worth. Anyone have any ideas on the worth?

Any US coin that is flat and blank on one side is altered. It would be worth face value.

To be quite frank, you cannot be fair to anyone pricing a coin until you know enough about the coin to know what it is. Sounds to me from your question that you don't know errors all that well. This could easily open you up to either spending way too much or giving way too little for the item and hazarding losing a connection because of that. Best thing to do is to tell the person that you don't know the coins all that well and are a beginner collector. Come to an agreement together as novices what you think the coin is worth - without a front that you are experienced in any way or know what you are doing.

I'll just wait to get the coin in hand and make a decision at that point. Even if it's altered I'll take it just because it's different.

Im wondering which side is blank. I found a Lincoln in an extra penny dish in a convenience store that is so poorly struck it's hard to tell what date it is without magnification.

As soon as I get it I'll try to post pics (I've never posted any on here before).
