error penny please help!!

Last night I found a penny in the bank roll of nickels that is the size of a nickel, and it has the old style tails and the newer style tails on the same side on top of each other, and the heads side is completely flat and empty.

What could it be worth??

Thanks, Andrew

I'm sure I won't be the first to say that pics are needed if anyone is going to be able to help you.

 

dangit ok ill try and post them asap

 

Just by the description I can tell it's a hammer job. No value.

 

Yup! I predict the "newer style tails" (aka the reverse) will be incused and reversed. The obverse is blank and the coin is the size of a nickel because someone laid a Shield Cent on a Wheat Cent and whacked them with a hammer.

 

Bullcrap I found it in a brand new roll of nickels at the bank.

 

still fake? haha

 

Rolls dont mean anything. That roll could have been rolled by a drop out felon who works at a bank, and put that cent in a vice.

 

crap. thought i was gonna make millions. why the heck would some idiot do this to get me excited??

 

Welcome to Coin Talk!

What you have is a hammer job! Post Mint Damage! Someone just fool'n around! Not worth anything! Keep it if you like it!

Doesn't matter if it's a roll from the bank. The coins are rolled by a third party and can contain anything they pick up from customer's deposits.

Or.....

If you want to believe it's an error, then "Congratulations! You have the rarest coin ever! Probably worth millions!" Then you will be very embarrassed when you go to sell it.

 

I don't thing they did it to get you excited.... no, you're right.... it was made with you in mind.

 

haha i bet it was. tell you what ill sell it to ya.. $7.98?

 

Still fake! haha

 

Sure, right after you buy mine i hit with a butane torch and dipped in bedliner!

 

^ Sarcasm...no one report me to the feds for melting pennies now.

 

It was a "Science" project, right Hunt?

 

Yes! It was my lab partner, i was a innocent bystander.

 

so yall guys collect coins? how do yall get girlfriends? hahah

 

Unlike you, we aren't forced to rent them!

 

Because women like money...
