SAW THIS AFTER READING ON HERE ABOUT BLOW-OUTS...I POSTED IT AND ASKED FOR HELP, BUT 6 HOURS LATER NO ONE WROTE (UNDER GENERAL QUESTIONS) SO I JUST PUT IN MIN BID AND CROSSED MY FINGERS, OF COURSE 5 MINUTES LATER GOT 5 ANSWERS TO MY QUERIE, LOL ALL SAYING A SUARE NAIL, BIT ON INSPECTING IT, IT DOES LOOK A BIT WEIRD, DUNNO, COULD IT POSSIBLY BE A BLOW-OUT?? LET ME KNOW, OR OTHERWISE GUESS WILL JUST SPEND IT AT WALMART
The correct term is blow hole. The coin you bought is damaged and worn from wear. It was worth the $10.00 if you learn from this mistake.
From the concave denting around the hole on the reverse, in conjunction with the convex bulging and flattening on the obverse, it looks pretty likely it was struck with force from the reverse to make the hole. PMD
Wal Mart doesn't accept loose change anymore, at least in my area at the the self check outs. Strictly CC.
You paid $10 for this cent and now you're gonna spend it like a bad penny???? If you just want to get rid of your money, I can think of several people, places, or things to spend it on : St. Jude's Cancer Hospital for Children, Shriner's Crippled Children's Hospital, your local Food Bank, the PTA of your child's school, etc. Something I learned long ago : "Waste Not, Want Not" .
but this one looks like it spewed out from the inside, a nail would go in one way and out the other, just looks weird, oh well i will just spend it, see the look on their faces at walmart, lol
i am ok with that, they spend 60-95% of their money on administration and advertising for more money less than 10 cents of any dollar donated goes to help anyone...i like coins, some people like horses, some like cars, i prefer to buy coins thank you very much, charities can go make their own money like i have to...charity starts at home!!
they still have manned (or womaned) check outs for people who refuse to do their work for them for free...
Sure.. Everyone is entitled to an opinion.. But sometimes a simple THANK YOU would be appreciated and/or suffice.
