Strange penny

I’m wondering if anybody can tell me anything about this penny. Error/pmd/fake? and a possible value if any. Thanks

Struck through a late stage die cap, maybe?

I'm not a collector in this area, so let's wait for the error folks to weigh in with confirmation and possible value...

 

Yup, looks like it to me. Better wait for our CIT (Commander in Chief). Hmm. I wonder who that is?

 

I appreciate the quick responses. I’m in a few coin groups on Facebook and that’s pretty much pointless trying to get any info there

 

It’s an error for sure

 

My guess is @MeowtheKitty

 

Is this what they call a capped die error?

 

Looks good for a mint error to me. Please keep and protect it. @paddyman98 eill assist. Welcome to CT.

 

Thank you. I’d like to get an idea of possible value and if it would be worth it to send it in to have it graded? So once again I appreciate the input from everyone

 

A quick search through eBay completed auction shows similar coins generally getting $40-60, with outliers as low as $30 or as high as $115. At those prices, it's unlikely that it would be worth your while to get it slabbed.

 

The majority of Facebook error pages are a joke. Don't waste your time there. Only one FB page is legit.

Your coin is a legit capped die strike. It has a premium but don't think your going to pay off your mortgage with what you can get.

And please create your future mint error questions over at our Error Coins forum of CoinTalk. I don't follow the What's it worth forum because they usually sound like desperate members posting coins thinking that they will be super rich soon

I only saw this thread because someone tagged me.

 

Huh? Seriously? You're joking right?

 

Search Heritage archives and you'll see a similar price range to what @-jeffB posted.

 

Thanks for all the info everyone. Definitely glad I joined and in the future I will make sure to post there.
