[QUOTE="Avoozl, post: 66875, member: 3972"]I just found my first error coin, and curious if its worth any thing? sorry no photo's as I don't have a digi cam, I searched the net for photo's of a similar error but haven't found one.. but will try to describe it best I can Its a 1977 American Penny, mint error on the reverse side at the bottom of the coin just under the portrait (left side) there is a glob of extra metal (same metal and color as the coin) looks as if extra leaked as the rest of the coin looks to be fine. It goes from the edge of the coin filling the rim and just touching the portrait, length of the glob is just under half the length of the bottom of the portrait Closest thing I have seen to this is the Canadian twoonie were the gold center leaked like a broken egg yoke and ran across the coin to the edge.. unfortunately was an auction I seen some time back and haven't found to get a copy of that photo. Any ideas? Thanks[/QUOTE]
