<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tom Maringer, post: 2709601, member: 7033&quot;]I have no idea of the value of such things... but it&#039;s very interesting from the minting-process side. I have never seen such a late die-state piece from the post-1982 zinkie period of the Lincoln Penny. I had been under the impression that the copper-plated zinc blanks were so much softer than the old copper alloy that die-wear would essentially be eliminated. But clearly, based on this example, they continued to have die wear problems! For this reason alone I would consider it a collector&#039;s piece. If only it hadn&#039;t also had so much circulation wear as well![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
