<p>[QUOTE="Silvy, post: 1369330, member: 36181"]I was bank rolling some pennies today(Mainly do this just to collect wheats) and ran into a weird looking penny to day. It caught my eye right off the bat and I immediately put it aside. I do believe I have found my first error coin, so maybe someone here can help me out with this. The pictures do not do this penny justice - Its a beauty and SUPER shiny. Its just as shiny as the gold plated chocolate coins that come out around the Holidays (in the US). After doing a bit of research it appears it is a die filling error, I think is what it was called. This coin is cracked, the words are very blurry and you cant even make out a date. I thought this penny had been ran over or something until I inspected further. Everything appears larger on this penny as well and not very much detail</p><p><br /></p><p>Date almost looks like 2004 if you look at it in the right light.
