<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 4948659, member: 10461&quot;]So yes, an error of sorts, but only a very minor and common one, not worth any extra premium.&nbsp; It&#039;s still an interesting feature and a conversation piece, even though you aren&#039;t going to get rich off of it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And it&#039;s not a bad looking cent, from what I can see in the photos.&nbsp; It appears to be a full red BU (Brilliant Uncirculated, i.e. Mint State) piece, which would make it worth more than [USER=44615]@paddyman98[/USER]&#039;s assessment of 2-5 cents, simply by virtue of the grade, not because it&#039;s an error coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.numismedia.com/cgi-bin/coinprice.cgi?script=lnccntmo&amp;searchtype=any&amp;searchtext=fmv&amp;search=any&amp;nmcode=10727400&amp;guide=prices&amp;guide2=pricesms" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.numismedia.com/cgi-bin/coinprice.cgi?script=lnccntmo&amp;searchtype=any&amp;searchtext=fmv&amp;search=any&amp;nmcode=10727400&amp;guide=prices&amp;guide2=pricesms" rel="nofollow">Numismedia</a> lists an MS64 RD at $7.48 but doesn&#039;t list the other (lower) Mint State grades.&nbsp; Now mind you, I can&#039;t tell if that coin is in fact MS64 or MS at all, based on that single picture of one side, but if it <i>is</i> Mint State and that <i>is</i> full original mint Red, then it&#039;s worth a few bucks.&nbsp; Like $3-5-ish at retail, perhaps.</p><p><br /></p><p>So not a lot- it&#039;s still a common coin- but certainly more than a few cents.</p><p><br /></p><p>And though common in these later dates, I think Mint State Wheat cents are attractive and fun.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
