This is a clear 1987 US Lincoln cent made from a Roosevelt dime. Penny is kind of thin with shadows of the dime impression and edge is serated in places. material is clearly the nickle material used for dimes. This is a case of a dime was dropped into the Penny blanks at the US Mint. Lincoln's head has a bit of Roosevelts hair. This was found in 1987 in a roll of dimes. Could someone help?   07-01-2007, 05:08 PM   #2 (permalink) SapperNurse DOD enhanced     Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Ft leonard Wood, MO Posts: 704 My Mood: I think we would all need pics to properly get a grip on this.....I would at least   07-01-2007, 05:21 PM   #3 (permalink) Buffalos The Buffalo Hunter   Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: USA Posts: 73 Pictures would be needed to determine value, these are commonly called "11 cent piece's" __________________ Sometimes the best things in life are worth waiting for!   07-01-2007, 06:44 PM   #4 (permalink) jody526 Sic Semper Tyrannis     Join Date: Jan 2004 Location: Patrick County, Virginia Posts: 3,044 My Mood: I believe there are several factors that go in to determining the value of that type error. The condition of presevation is very important. How much of the original dime's detail remains, is important. Is the dime's date there, or is it obliterated? These can get pretty pricey, as I'm sure you know.   07-02-2007, 06:42 AM   #5 (permalink) Treashunt The Other Frank     Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: New York Posts: 17,759 Without pictures it is difficult to determine whether or not the 'coin' was produced by the mint or an item that was simple made post mint. __________________ The Other Frank "Buy The Book Before The Coin!"
