Lincoln error penny

I am curious to know the value and what kind of error this is.the last number is connected to the 6 and is only half there

It looks like a tiny die chip caused it. No extra value.

 

Ok so if that's the case, you see how it almost looks like a plus sign connected to the 6? Idk if the pic is clear enough or not but what number would that be after 6 bc it is even out of place to where the last number should even be, it's literally connected to the number 6. I'll try to get better pics

 

Looks like a normal 1 in the correct place to me.

 

Maybe try zooming in on the 2nd pic, it's. it even a 1 at all, it's more like the. Orrin half of maybe a 4 but very close if not connected to the 6. It is def some sort of strike error, maybe your just not getting a good enough look at it, but I've had people with zero knowledge of coins look at it and so far everyone who has seen it says it's def some kind of error also a few local coin shops but I just can't find a value for it anywhere

 

It is a 1961 Cent.. nothing else
Yes to very tiny Die Chip

 

Not all coin shop owners know about errors well enough to give you an answer. I once had a coin shop owner tell me that he was not even interested in Error Coins and did not want to help me!
There is no extra value for a small Die Chip.

Peace

 

Like @paddyman98 said, it's a die chip. Nothing more!

Ok again I will try to get yet another pic so u can see what I am trying to explain bc if you were seeing it clearly I would see that it is clearly not a one or a die chip, it has every single feature of the edge of a four but it's very close to the 6 so it may be hard for u to see, it's hard to get a good clear pic at the right angle. Let me try a magnifying lens on my phone

 

Maybe so but eather way if it is a one it's only half of it I am trying to find a 64 and a 61 to compair them but not having any luck when I do I'll get pics of the three together, but I do have a few others I will post for opinions as well

 

Buddy.. IT IS NOT A 4.. It's a 1961
Look at the following picture of a 1964 Cent.. see how far away the right stem of the 4 is from the 6?

All you have is a small Die Chip between the 6 and the 1

 

@cpm9ball

 

And again we beat a dead horse simply because it is so much fun.

 

Yes the 6 and the 1 are connected. That connection was caused by a chip in the die. It's a really common thing with cents from the 1960s. The results from a chip can have many different looks. In this case it just happens to look like a part of a 4.

 

Ok thank you

 

So.... you're ignoring the assistance of people who do know something of coins in favor of opinions shared by people who do not? Now, does this really make sense to you?

If you want to get ridiculously technical about this, sure, one could consider it an "error" based solely on the fact the result is something other than originally intended, but the greater fact is that the preceding gentlemen are most certainly correct in what they've shared with you. What you have a coin with a fairly common anomaly that, unless sold to a "bidiot" type or someone interested only in the novelty factor, is not premium-worthy. The best way to look at this is the "value" it offers you as a learning experience. Better luck next time.

Have you forgotten where* we are?

Oops... perhaps if I said "wear" it would make more sense...

 

I no! I no! It's sometimes unbareable. We can only prey that sum will get the hint.
