It&#039;s worthless.</p><p>If you think you have a valuable error then spend $30 to have it authenticated.</p><p>It may have some sentimental value to you, but there&#039;s no monetary value.</p><p>People damage pennies all the time. Drop them in acid, plate them, crunch them inside machinery, etc. As it&#039;s only a penny and they like to experiment with them.</p><p>In science classes&nbsp; in the late 50&#039;s they would electro plate pennies with other metals to show how the ions are transferred or something.</p><p>Many of the plated pennies are around 1957 and 1958.</p><p>Yours looks as if someone wore it on a chain (the hole) further damaging it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
