fioti Pillar of the Community United States 4212 Posts	Posted 04/15/2011 2:01 pm Ran outta nickels @ 2:00 am. this morning and had to jump into a box of cents. I have'nt weighed this 1st one. With the enormous rims, looking spooned, it's still larger in diameter than a normal. Any thoughts? Is this worth holding? 2nd, is this what you cent guys/gals refer to as "cupped"? Note the "LIBERTY" 3rdly, struck-thru something or die-crack? Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 04/15/2011 5:15 pm Many Cent coins from the 1980's are always messed up. Usually from about 53 to 89. You get those large rims, double rims, missing letters and numbers, a lump running through the lettering on the obverse, die cracks and just about anything else that a coin shouldn't look like, they do. I normally collect all sorts of error coins. Some time ago I started piling up lots of Cents from the middle to late 1980's due to all the little messed up things like on your coins. Then I finally realized that it almost appeared as if more were messed up than normal so I stopped collecting those. That odd enlarged edge is on so many I started to think someone at the Mint did that on purpose. Report this Post to the Staff
