<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CopperKing559, post: 1326580, member: 34940&quot;]Hey guys.</p><p><br /></p><p>New to the site. I know how much everyone on forums loves pictures, but I don&#039;t have a camera that can get a clear picture of this cent.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can barely make out the year 2000, and you cannot see a mint mark at all, even with a jewelers loop. Everything else on the coin seems to be in order. It looks as if it was struck, but not hard enough to do much more than leave a <b>barely</b> visible date. It is so faint, it feels completely smooth to the touch. Anyone have an idea on value?</p><p><br /></p><p>I was thinking it could have been rubbed off, but several things lead me to believe otherwise;</p><p>When Zincolns are scratched, they show a white-ish color, and pick up the green patina quickly. The rest of the coin seems to also be in fairly good condition for a 12 year old coin, so it&#039;s not from any normal use. </p><p><br /></p><p>On a side note, I&#039;ve found several cents that were struck slightly off-center, some up to the point where it looks like the rim is sheared off, but it&#039;s because of the positioning of the strike. I checked eBay and they seem to be fairly, &quot;run-of-the-mill.&quot; Anyone have suggestions for a fresh copper-hoarder? I have around 20 lbs. hand-sorted from about 4 boxes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
