<p>[QUOTE="LincolnPennyMystery, post: 2892931, member: 90785"]This is my first time posting here and trying to reach out for help on coin identification, so please bare with me.. So, I came across this penny years ago. It is nearly mint, year 1997, and it is just like any other coin but there is a number 5 printed at the top left hand side of the coin. My thing is, how did only a number 5 get there and not another whole date, and what would this be labeled as? I have seen misprints before, but not like that, same with date print being doubled or even some numbers missing in the dates.. but a perfect date print and then a number 5 WAY over there is crazy... Right now I can not find my coin, but I know I still have it. I am, for now using a picture of a penny coin and drawing the 5 where it is located so you get an idea of its placement. I don't know the value of this coin, I have never seen anything like it before. Tell me what you think, I'll continue to look for my coin. This coin's unknown value has both bothered me and made me curious for years...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]695866[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
