Normal? What is normal? There were 4.2 billion of the Philly cents struck. How many do you think were produced by each die pair before the dies...
My 2006 bags are $50 face value. I've had them for 9 years, but to my knowledge, no major varieties or errors have ever been reported. I did...
Double ear? I thought everyone had two ears. Chris
It would be hard to give you an estimate of value without seeing photos of both sides of most of the coins. I say "most" because not all of them...
Yep! If you save it along with 999 more and then put them in a $50 Mint bag, they will make a great door stop. Chris

Doh! Look again, Rick! The grease-filled areas are apparent on more areas than the "ES" & "O", but are different on both coins. They can't be from...
@Skyman I agree, Sy, that the historical importance in numismatics is interesting. Unfortunately, we don't have that many students here....
Sorry, paddy! My faux pas! Now you know why I'm sick of penny threads, cent threads and all that crap. Chris
So, you found them in a garage sale. Would you mind bringing my truck back? Chris
After 43 years of circulation? I'm absolutely positive that it didn't get hit by a meteorite. You need to give us a better close-up of the "O"....
