[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 4163668, member: 77814"]by the way, if you do your research FIRST and be "unbiased" (this is the hardest for people as they *desire* to be finding something that everyone else has over looked, because, well, there is no good explanation for this other than people think they are smarter than every one else). [LIST] [*]It was discovered in 1970. [*]It was estimated that approximately 100 of these reached circulation. [*]So far, 50 years for the collectors to find them. [*]The last time one was found was in 2010 which was from a roll saved from decades earlier. [*]and 2007 when a roll was sold at a high end coin dealer, from an estate which contained one example. [*]Thus your odds are close to, if not, nill to find one in pocket change. [/LIST] Looking at an example it would look like this: [ATTACH=full]1073622[/ATTACH] [LIST] [*]Ignore the Date as you are not experienced enough to visually tell the difference yet. [*]Look at the shift if the [U][B]IN GOD WE TRUST[/B][/U]. each letter is clearly overlapped with a second letter. [*]Look a rotation of LIBERTY which is closer at the Y and is more rotated/spread at the L as the second letter overlaps the first and separates more the closer you get to the edge. [*]The rotation is like a bicycle wheel rotating - slower/less in the middle and more/faster on the outer edge. [/LIST] That cent you posted looks nothing like the above. The last time one of these sold it went for over $85,000 (from my quick check). So losing $100 isn't bad considering ...[/QUOTE]
