My dad had passed away 3 years ago, I'm still going through his stuff. Today I decided to go through his wheat pennies. When I came across this one. I can't find any info on it anywheres, the only ones I can find info on are the off center strikes that show the date. This one does not show the date. Anyone that can help, I would appreciate it.
Unfortunately, you're kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place with this one. That's why the ones with readable dates get all the press. They're considered far more valuable for that fact.
I would think the one without dates are. Just was curious is all. I found an Indianhead nickel with a buffalo on the back of it but I cannot see the day it's not in very good condition.
I would like to see a pic of the back of coin.Or what ever the back is called, LOL I Do not know much about coins myself but like to look at pics.
Numismatists like to identify, to compartmentalize things. Not knowing the date, this could be the very most common date for such an error, or it could be one from a date which has never before been seen with an off-center strike. The degree if departure from the norm lends it greater interest and value, but it would increase greatly if a collector could assign a number to it.
I think it's worth around $10. The dateless buffalo is only 30 cents. However, a photo of the reverse could reveal a mint mark, or a raised mound, which could then be used to identify the date. Only buffaloes from 1913 had a raised mound variety.
I would say that due to the sharpness and detail of the strike, particularly the hair, ear and bow tie, that it's a 1974 or later.
Yes I agree. Coins always are worth more, the better condition they are in. Unless it is a super rare coin, which this one is probably not. 30 cents. 50 on a good day.
