Upside down date!!

I just found this error and have never seen anything like it! It is a 1961 penny with an upside down date! If you turn the coin upside down like in the photo, the date is right side up, meaning the date is upside down when the coin is right-side up!!! I think I'll be putting this on ebay with a buy-it-now price of only $20,000.

Hahaha, I had to think for a few seconds before I got owned !

 

good job pennsteve , this will give the trolls something to gossip about .

 

Probably the best attempt at "trolling" I've seen here on CT.
Good job Steve! (still laughing)

 

cute

If you mention the "human" implication, you could probably increase the BIN to $30K.

Cute, very old(I remember that from grammar school), but cute.

 

Thanks for the laugh Steve!

 

Actually, the date looks correct. I think it's Lincoln that was minted upside-down.

 

yuk, yuk, snort, yuk, yuk

 

Good one!

 

I think you are right. That's an even BIGGER error! My buy it now price on ebay has just gone up to $40,000!

 

lolol

 

Haha! Had me stumped for a bit.

 

The guy I deal with at the flea market is always saving errors and counter-stamped cents for me. Today I actually got a clipped planchet and what look like a couple struck through grease. He had one that he thought was damaged by something on the die, but I think it's PMD (it's on both sides of the coin). Now I'll have to find one of these to show him. He'd get a kick out this.

Good one!:thumb:

 

Is 1961 the only date that does that ?

 

Facepalm

 

Excellent!
