<p>[QUOTE="mespe, post: 287905, member: 10197"]Thank you BigH, that's what I wanted to hear??? I mean the dollar amount. If it's on worth 40 bucks or so, there's no way I'm going spend the money to have it graded. If lunacy exists on eBay, which I highly believe, Then maybe this is my winning ebay lottery ticket. I have no idea what it would cost to grade this coin, but inclination is that it'll be substantial because it's a one of a kind error (if it is an error coin, which I do believe). The only money I could lose on this is one cent.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>So what about the rim of the coin? I posted some pictures of the side and if someone prior to me tried faking this coin, why would they use it? Sure someone can probably build a fixture to melt the coin and cause the rim to swell, but why go through all that trouble then simply use the one cent as cash???</p><p> </p><p>I know that I got this coin in this condition, so that part is rest assured.

Sure someone can probably build a fixture to melt the coin and cause the rim to swell, but why go through all that trouble then simply use the one cent as cash??? I know that I got this coin in this condition, so that part is rest assured. With the knowledge I possess and having the coin in my hands with high power magnification, I KNOW that the coin is legit Most posters that say it's burned or cooked or torched also say they're not experts. The ones that say it's genuine, don't. So be that as it may, I know what I have, but don't know the value of it.[/QUOTE]
