    I searched through 1,000 pennies over the past few weeks, and I've found some interesting things. Nothing amazing, but still some cool finds.

    This coin is so messed up that I doubt it's worth anything, but it looks like it has a cool error. My scanner just doesn't scan the best pictures, but I think you'll get the gist of it...

    [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG] It looks like a 6 over a 5, maybe a 6...
    The back is kinda odd too. Wish this was a BU coin....

    It's a plating blister, common with zinc cents not an error. And that has a lot of zinc rot.


    Thanks,

    Yes, it is very corroded. I've seen a lot of lamentation blisters this one looks different. Anyway, I shared it because it looks kinda cool. As many say here on the forum, "Interesting conversation piece." :) I took one more picture with my cell and my magnifier just to show a better angle...with all the bubbles on the surface, you're likely right.

    How did 1996 segue into 1296? Or is it the booze?

    Just a damaged corroded Cent. Nothing lucky about it.

    Well, when you're searching coins, and you haven't found anything interesting in a while, it's kinda cool to find something that at least looks different. It raises the attention levels...lol
    So, maybe it is a lucky coin! :p
