Faded Lincoln cent

Hello I'm a newbie and the other day my friend and I was going through some of my Lincoln cents and my friend told me that this faded Lincoln cent might just be worth more than a cent. I'd like some opinions please if any thanks.

Welcome to Coin Talk !! Thanks for posting.

Did your friend give you any reason that he thought so?

 

Just a normal worn die strike..
Worth 1 Cent

 

I think your coin is stained/toned due to normal usage.
Value 1¢.

 

It does have an interesting look, although I doubt whether it's worth more than a penny.

 

Looks like someone hit it with a blowtorch.

 

He just told me that he came across some YouTube videos and saw some Lincoln cents that had the top material faded off saleing for a few bucks at auction. Something about a mint errors are something.

 

No it's not blistered or anything I guess the top material just faded off.

 

I know but the odd thing is that the lettering should have been worn down too as the material started to wear off . The lettering and such seem to be just fine tho.

 

Welcome to CT. Excellent photographs of the coin, but still just worth one cent.

 

Ok good deal. Never hurts to get other advice on these kinds of things

 

Yes, it could be worth thousands (if it were a different coin from a different year in a different condition.)

Youtube usually leaves out the key details about "WHY YOUR POCKET CHANGE COULD BE WORTH THOUSANDS!!!"

 

I'm sure that across all of YouTube, there is one video about coins that is correct.

You have not found it yet.
