Strike through, probably wire.

 

You will never be 100% positive of the thing that caused this. What difference does it make? It's definitely a strikethrough. That's all you need to know. ~ Chris

 

Are these valuable

 

Struck through wire pennys

 

Not really, just neat.

 

Struck thru error coins are worth alot I asked Google

 

Anything is only worth what it will sell for

 

Pennies not Pennys

 

Google can be edited to show better information. Don't Completely believe everything you read!

 

When I posted this coin a while back someone said its worth a premium. And I looked on coin community struck through error are worth alot of money

 

Sell it

 

Take it to a dealer and sell it

 

You might get a few dollars for it. Finding someone to pay that might be tough.

 

There are many different types of Struck Thru coins. Some bring a higher premium than others. Yours is a common type error. Less premium.

So.. How much do you think it is worth then?

 

Really cool find!

 

Premium means more than the market allows for the same grade or similar coin so yes it would bring a Premium to the right buyer. If you think it’s worth thousands... sorry no, it’s only worth what someone will pay. Probably less than 10 bucks in the condition it’s in.

 

If you can find a website devoted to bidiots, then you could be a millionaire.

I've been a member for about 6 months or so, and very much enjoy the insight of long-time members, true collectors for the love of collecting. What I've also found is that there are quite a few "non-collectors" who are interested only in "how valuable is my find" and "how much money can I get". Thankfully, Coin Talk is predominately populated by true coin collectors, eager to contribute their "two cents" to any and every topic. Just wanted to thank y'all for giving me the opportunity to learn generally about coin collecting and particularly about the love of collecting is alive and well!
