1976 Double Denomination

Very interesting. I as well was misled by the photos. OP, does the coin have the color of a dime or a cent in hand? Are the edges reeded? What is the weight? You can take it to a jewelry store to weigh it if you do not have a small enough scale.

From the images it is clearly a cent struck on a previously struck dime.

 

I appreciate all the feedback...I'm not a collector interested in collecting. It's something I've had for many years that sits in a drawer and every so often I remember it and think...does it have any value? Honestly having it graded is really something that seems like more work than I'm looking to invest. I'd really like to just sell it for the most profit.

 

Having it in a slab from a major TPG will go a long way in maximizing your profit.

 

Good morning all...I appreciate the feedback and have also had some additional advice/responses directly. I was advised by a member who asked if had received offers to post my reply to them when then had asked me if I had offers so here is my reply:

I have but since I know nothing of it's value I have no idea...a couple of them were from dealers ($500-$1000) so I assume that number is low. I had one individual who collects bicentennial coins offer $2K, again not sure.

Realistically I'd like to sell it sooner rather than later and I really don't want to spend a lot of time on it...

Again, not a collector just looking to sell the coin without investing a lot of time but also want to get the most for it...I'd be foolish not to!

 

My advice for the highest selling price is to have it professionally attributed, graded and slabbed, then list it on eBay, Great Collections or Heritage auction sites.

 

Find that person and sell it to them! Problem resolved. That's for sure.
