2009 US Cent, Lincoln With Teeth!

What culture is this?

It's a culture of trying to help someone out. After 1982, all circulating US cents are copper plated zinc and they are prone to many manufacturing DEFECTS, in addition to errors. What you have are defects and not recognized errors. Trying to sell these as errors would be considered bad by most CT members. Are you in the USA?

 

That's the funniest thing I've heard all day!
Thanks for the laugh!

 

No

 

People with an interest in coins would ask, 'what do I have here'?
People only interested in profiting from other un-knowledgeable persons ask
'How much is this rare and unique coin worth', but I don't really care what opinions I get as I have already made my mind up

 

Vale


Only the Copper 1941 S.. With teeth is valuable


(Actual item on eBay )

 

You're half right. Unique, possibly. Valuable? Probably only to you. But you never know. I've seen stale bread get bid to crazy numbers.

 

The one that supports bitcoin.

A fool and his money are soon parted. But you won't have much problem finding a fool.

But here is my suggestion. It's so valuable you should NEVER SELL IT. Keep it and look at it every month or so.

 

Why this 1941 S could have value but not 2009, the values are in materials (copper) or the nature of the coin, in this case, the art?!
By the way, this 1941 S is very beautiful, a treasure! He is smiling with teeth, face, and eyes.

 

LOL you got me my daily fun!!!!.

 

The 1941S has no value. It is not an error. Somebody is trying to CHEAT unsuspecting collectors. Any moron can list anything they want, misrepresent it, and ask any price for it. That doesn't mean it's rare or valuable.

Sellers who misrepresent coins on ebay are some of the lowest forms of life, IMO. Preying on new collectors is reprehensible. There is a special place in he'll reserved for them

 

It's not valuable

I was joking when I stated that.

 

It has very little value, like two cents.

 

I would have to say good old New England culture from the USA.

 

The value we place on objects is a very subjective thing. It is truly said that "One man's trash is another's treasure" in the eye of the beholder. That being said, I will say again that US cents made after 1982 are copper PLATED zinc, having a copper content of 5% of the coin. They have so many manufacturing defects that it is difficult to distinguish a valid "error" coin. Posting here is a good way to get insight into what you have found, but be prepared for some innocent (and some not so innocent) teasing. Happy collecting. If you don't mind, what country are you in?

 

The difference is in how it was made. There are a couple things which make it desirable and thus valuable.

One are MINT caused variations or errors. These are divided into several categories, but broad categories are planchet related, die related and stamping related.

The values are all over the place, but a popular doubled die will often be worth 1000 times or more than a mechanical doubling of the same date and mint. This is why expertise is often sought.

The second fall into the Artistic category like Hobo Nickels and Potty Dollars. These have value as works of art.

Coins with Post Mint Damage (PMD) from plating, coating, damage by machines, corrosion, etc. have interesting looks, but little or no premium over face value.

This is the absolute basics of valuation. It goes far beyond this, but it's a start to answering your question.

 

Oh! One more thing. Just remember that you will sometimes find a common ordinary item on an auction site for a ridiculous amount of money like a 2020 Cent for $1,000,000. It doesn't make it worth any more than a cent.

 

I am in CANADA, but who are you trying to address your question?

 

So why people paid that money in the auction if it does not worth any more than a cent?
