I recently bought a bunch of Lincoln penny sets, and there were tons of error coins in the sets, mostly lamination errors. But there are also these. They are about half the thickness of a normal wheat cent and they the circumference is smaller than that of a Lincoln cent. Are these struck on dime stock? Are they just planchets cut to the wrong size? Any help and opinions would be appreciated.
What I meant was they punched out dime sized planchets on a "sheet" of copper. But yeah I can see the roughness. Must be acid. Thank you!
Agreed with the first two sentences, not the last. I dare disagree with the final sentence. Value is in the eye of the beholder. I kept the one I found because I like to think some kid in the 60s soaked it in acid to get something from an old machine.
It could also have been a kid from 2010 who had nothing constructively better to do. Yeah, you're right. It is worth something. Who knows how much if it is a bidiot, but only 1c to someone who still has all his senses. Chris
It could very well be, but I'll stick to my version of the facts It's got no numismatic value, but it's a fun addition to my error/weird coin collection.
