<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SiLvEr_HoArDeR, post: 1233952, member: 31028&quot;]ok, i got to check this coin out again today. it is a 1993 penny not a 1996. it is absolutely flat on the &#039;&#039;tails&#039;&#039; side, w/o copper on that side as well. no rim or anything on that 1 side. on the blank side, it ressembles the little plug that an electrician knocks out of an electrical box to run the wires through. it has no machine marks on it, even under magnification. it weighs 2.34 grams on his legal for trade scales. i took a couple of pics of it w/my phone but will get some better ones this coming week. i will post the pics i have as soon as they&#039;re done uploading. any tips on how to take good pics?</p><p><br /></p><p>as far as it not being possible, it has to be. i have an example. i am absolutley positive this is real &amp; i believe i know how it happened. i think 2 planchets stuck together before getting the copper coat. then this doubled planchet went through the striking dies, together. 1 got the front die strike &amp; the other 1 got the backside die strike. then they seperated. therefor, there is at least one other real 1 sided penny out there,(the mate to this front 1/2 we&#039;ve found) but it will only have the tails side struck. </p><p><br /></p><p>will the coin grading services grade an error like this? if it is indeed the real mcCoy,(i have NO doubts) will they verify it on the label as such? also, what would a legit 1 sided penny be worth? just a ballpark figure...i am curious to know if it would be enough to retire on? or enuff to maybe take a short vacation? or barely enuff for a cup of coffee? i would like to know for insurance on the package if we send it off to be slabbed. if you had 1 you believed was real, would you trust usps or fed ex to take care of it &amp; not lose it on its way to a grading service? thanks for your time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
