[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 3254741, member: 10461"]Nope. It's as common as can be, and worth only face value... one cent. OK, since it's a pre-1982 copper cent, the copper in it is technically worth another cent or two above face value, but commercially speaking, it is worth exactly one cent. You won't find anyone to offer you anything more than that. I saw those ridiculous Etsy listings and poked fun at them here. They were listed by a person who is either totally ignorant about coins or completely insane. (Or both.) [URL='https://www.cointalk.com/threads/woohoo-major-key-date-ddo-error-im-gonna-make-10k.328092/']In fact, I just posted a parody of such listings.[/URL] [B][COLOR=#ff0000]Edit[/COLOR][/B]- aha- wait- I think you were looking at [I]my[/I] thread, weren't you? [B] That was a joke[/B]. Satire. There really [I]are[/I] some modern junk coins listed on Etsy for thousands of dollars, which is what I was poking fun at. I was also lampooning the dozens upon dozens of people who post damaged, beat-up pocket change here, thinking that they have rare and valuable errors. We do try to be helpful, but some of those posts are so absurd that we get sick of them and let off a little steam by poking fun at them. Sorry if my satirical thread confused you about your 1977 cent. For what it's worth, the one you posted is a heck of a lot nicer than my "roadkill" example! ;) They're both worth only one cent, though.[/QUOTE]
