I think it's neat how a small stain combined with the shadows, lighting, the shape of the coin and our imagination lets us see things like this. I see the man but it's as I described.
Well if u see the man to then it's no imagination it's clear as day if it's a stain combined with shadows then everyone that post on coin forum would say they see a man on there coin
Do you think this is a valuable mint error? I’m seriously asking? Do you think this coin has any value over one cent?
well to some collectors it mite be valuable maybe not to u it mite not me but maybe to some collector out there it mite be valuable
It is not a man , nor is it an image of a man, as it was not purposely added to the die by the mint or anyone. At the end , it is damage. You can enjoy it as an accidental combination of corrosion and lighting, but to think of it as a variety or error and valuable is wrong and misleading. I realize that some make money by advertising as such , but it is wrong and unappreciated by variety and error collectors. Jim
