Unbelievable Error-25,000 Likes Celebration

First, I am surprised that of all the members on CT, that @paddyman98 gave me my 25,000th like. I'm only surprised because I was saving this coin, an error, and he is an error collector. Unbelievable to me!

This has not been graded and I'm not sure I will do so. The only drawback is the fingerprint by the date. The coin is amazing in all other aspects. It's bowl shaped except for the 2nd strike. It's on a zinc planchet but hardly any zinc shoes. It's such a small area I doubt it shows in my photos.

In the 3rd photo I took it next to a regular Cent so you can see the size difference. I put a Nickel under the Cent and was shocked that I couldn't see the Nickel. In the 4th photo I put it on top of a quarter and all you can see is the rim of the Quarter. The last photo the Cent is taken next to the Quarter. An amazing coin and a great error to have. I'll just have to live with the fingerprint.

Nice congratulations.

 

Wow.. I didn't even know you were reaching that number! Congrats

 

@Collecting Nut Congrats on 25K and awesome error.

 

Great milestone and a fantastic coin

 

Here's two I purchased from Fred Weinberg

 

I don't have a broadstruck but I found this in a roll a few years back.

 

Found this in a roll last year my only true error find CRH,yes it needs a new flip.

 

Congrat's ~~ !!!

 

Thanks Paddy! I have more free time with CT now that I'm retired. I just play with coins, rocks, fossils, gems and antiques.

I was working so much at the post office 9-10 years ago that I bought but never opened the psckages. I haven't even gone through half of what I have at this point. Everyday is Christmas.

 

Those look like mine Paddy!!

 

Wonderful find!

 

Congrats @Collecting Nut keep it up you have a lot of "likeable" stuff.

 

Thank you. At times it is overwhelming. My wife has a hard time with it but then I remind her it's mine, all mine. Her reply, just until you die. Then we hug while laughing.

 

25,000 is one healthy number. Congratulations.

 

Congrats on your 25,000.
Such a large size broadstruck. Beautiful.

 

I still can't get over that this Cent is almost the size of a Quarter even with a bowl shape.

 

Congratulations on the milestone!

 

Thanks Chris. I like the milestone and the coin.

 

Congrats!!! I always enjoy seeing your coins and reading your comments!
