There are many of them for 1969 and 1970.
I've seen plenty.

 

Any added value Paddy

 

Nope. Just cool looking.

Go on Etsy and you might see some sellers (fools) try to sell them for high premiums as if they were major and rare mint errors. When they are not.

 

Yea I'm familiar with their annoying ads

 

here are 2 ridiculous examples.. So newbies see crap like this and they think they have something of value. Sad.

 

I have seen them on Denver's before just never a San Francisco. Thanks for the discussion everyone.

 

I don't think that matters . sorry .

 

A minor error but very nice to find one.

 

wow, $21,000! and it even comes with a big oily fingerprint!

 

I have several 1980 D found in a solid date BU roll.

 

Welcome to CT @Terrence Thompson. Good eye on that cent. As stated, fairly common as they try to get the most mileage out of the dies by polishing them to death. NAV IMHO. Keep up the hunt.

 

The fingerprint is unique the coin comes with it free

 

Not every coin has a fingerprint. This is unique, to say the least.
