    Yup, it's called a BIE cent. It's a die crack between the letters.

    yup, not sure how much more, and it depends on if you can find a buyer for it. Think a $1.00 at the most if you're lucky. They are kinda common.

    It's the result of a well-placed die chip. I used to keep all I found. After about 20 of them, I just toss them back in the reject pile.

    i bought a "unsearched roll of wheat pennies off ebay" and there was two canadian pennies 1973 and a 1996 penny so now i buy a brick of $25 from the bank and usually find 5 to 10 everytime but usually only in the 50 tho

    Yes, there was one of those on ebay the other day. I came across it when checking out the errors but I didn't track it or anything so I have no idea how much it sold for. It may only be worth a dollar or two. Best to keep it, that way it may give you incentive to find something better. Well, that's how my brain works anyways. [​IMG][​IMG]:D

    Check the mintmark closely it looks like it may be a RPM (repunched mintmark)...
