It's safer to buy replicas of rare coins. At least you'll know they're fakes. But the OP said he found it in circulation? Cool.
I found the Kennedy one in circulation. It seemed sort of neat.
[ATTACH][ATTACH]Counter stamped coins can be pretty cool. Check out my Franklin Half Dollar and Lincoln Cent. May not have any added value. But...
Got a microscope? The distance between the 19 and 14 in the date makes it look genuine. Altered 1944-D cents have too much distance. 1914 19 14
I'm sure it doesn't increase the value by much. But in time, it should be worth more than it would be otherwise.
Is this specific error common? Like I said, I could only find one other reference to it when I googled it.
The lettering 'In God We Trust' is deformed slightly. Probably not pmd.
[ATTACH]Does this help? Left: the 1966 Jefferson from my coin album. Right: the incomplete ponytail variety I found. Definitely a filled die....
WOW! Eisenhowers are all pretty awesome, sine they are the last large size dollar coins ever to be minted. But a multi-sided Ike? Amazing! I want...

Off-centered strike. I also have a Lincoln cent, Washington quarter, and Kennedy half dollar struck off-center also. Jefferson's been on the...

I'd like to see fantasy and replica coins made out of materials beside metal. Glass, industrial strength plastic, or even stone.
Maybe the government should retain the errors and sell them on the US Mint website along with the mint sets? It would help to get us out of debt.
What if somebody is more interested in encasing a coin in an airtight, transparent environment - and aren't interested in ever removing it?
Corrosion is caused by exposure to oxygen. Maybe the corrosion could be reversed if a coin is exposed to another gas that would break up...

Maybe he meant crispy?
Aren't there professional coin restoration experts who can clean a coin without lowering the value?
