Is this a normal error and does this coin carry any kind of value?

Sorry it wasn't worth anything.

If I had something like that, Id keep it and start a collection of ones like that! just my 2 cents   02-22-2006, 02:43 PM   #4 (permalink) Just Carl Numismatist   Join Date: Nov 2005 Posts: 4,472 I agree to start trying to collect stuff like that. Therer are actual error coins and then there are the fun ones. Yours is the fun type. There are also lots of 2 headed or 2 tailed coins used by magicians or cheats for flipping for coffee. Someone got me on that one. Then there are the ones flattened and actually sold as novelties. Have you seen the one with Kennedy's face next to Lincoln on the penny? My favorite is the copper plated 1943.   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk? Coin Talk Code of Honor 1.
