    I recently saw another forum member purchase a world coin lot for 6k in lista credits, and though it would be nice to get free coins. So this website called www.lista.com pays me for taking surveys, watching videos, etc etc. You can even make lots of credits by auctioning stuff you don't like.

    My purpose is to not sell anything, im into getting things for absolutely zero down. I got a 5 $ amazon gift card in 1 week just by using swag bucks search engine instead of Google's search engine.

    Then i recently won an auction on lista, for a 1957 Filled Die Wheat Cent. If you know Lista, even a circulated wheat cent goes for 250 or so, and I can get sometimes 500+ lista credits in a 3 minute register using a my spam email where all my junk unwanted stuff goes. So, I payed 51 credits in a proxy bid, and surprisingly won.

    I got the 1957 Filled Die Wheat Cent for 51 credits, and I want to know if its real, what its worth, and is it better than a regular wheat cent, and by that is it worth more than 5 cents?

    Here's the list to the auction.

    Technically, a filled die is basically a struck through where grease or gunk fills the die and causes the device(s) to be weak or missing on the coin. This is not a filled die. This is caused by a die break(which was common on cents from the '50s). The die break caused the 5 on the coin to be filled in by the break. Terminology gets murky here, but a filled letter die break is acceptable to me at least. A filled DIE is something else entirely though.

    It's a minor error. They'll sometimes sell on Ebay for a buck or two.

    Appears to be a common die chip. IMO, it's worth 5 cents, the average retail price of a common wheat. I've tossed multitudes of these into the junk pile.
