2000P 13% Off-Center Pulled from Circulation

Almost missed this one. Coin Counter rejected it at least twice. I'm so used to pennies getting rejected that I automatically pick them up and throw them back in. When I'm done, I just put the remainder of the rejects in my pocket to spend.

Well when I was done, this last remaining coin was still in the reject chute.

Using MS PhotoEditor and counting pixels, I came up with ~13% off center.

Nice find!!!

Was that from pocket change or a roll search?

 

Bag searching. I go through about 2 to 6 bags per week.

 

How many coins in a "bag" and how do you get them?

thanks.

 

$50 a bag. Ask your bank for bags out of their coin counter (many don't like to do it though).

 

And it comes with different denominations?

 

No, just pennies.

 

from circulation nice find, most people would probably never even notice.

 

I need to search around my local banks to find out who has a coin counter that I can use. I have about $100 worth of Zinc pennies, I really don't want to have to roll those buggers 50 at a time.

 

It would be nice to have a machine to spit out the good ones.

 

So you initially missed this when searching through the bag?

If so, it's a good thing the machine rejected it!

Nice find.

 

That realy is quite a find :high5:

 

Nice find!!!

 

I use a ryedale and focus on the coppers. I keep an eye on the zinc pile for old wheats, IHC's and other interesting coins. I'm still looking for a couple of the early 80's in AU or better condition. This one escaped my attention.
