Welcome to the forum. Your coin looks like it has spent some time in the bowels of a commercial clothes dryer or some other machine that has worn down the edge and one side. It is not an error coin but is merely damaged.

Welcome to the forum.
Have you weighed the coins? They need to be weighed on an accurate scale that reads in grams to two decimal places (hundredths of a gram). There were two different cent compositions that year, as I am sure you know. The copper-coated zinc version should weigh around 2.5 grams, and the brass version should weigh around 3.11 grams. Be sure to orient your pictures correctly and crop out all of the background. That makes it easier for all of us old men on here to see what you have and offer help.
 

It is important to remember that all 5,000 of the coins were encapsulated. The first 3,000 were sold for $200 apiece to collectors who, we assume, bought them solely because of the Goodacre providence.  The remaining 2000 were bought by a dealer, crossed to PCGS for grading and encapsulation, and then sold, probably for at least that amount and possibly more. It is highly likely that every collector who bought one was aware that the value lay solely in the fact that their coin once belonged to Ms. Goodacre, and that removing it from the slab would destroy the value. Human nature being what it is, it is possible that a few coins were removed from their holders by collectors who hate having their coins entombed in plastic. But I would guess that 99.9% of the coins are still in a holder from one of the three major grading services. Any coin claiming to be a Goodacre piece and being sold raw has to be assumed to be either a coin struck from new or freshly polished dies, or one that has been buffed to imitate a presentation piece. Either way, I would run from those as fast as I could.
On a related note: if anyone sees Skip Fazzari at FUN, or on another coin forum, would you ask him if he was involved in authenticating these coins? Someone at ICG discovered that there were two different types of finish, and I was wondering if it was he who discovered it

All 5000 pieces that the mint paid to MS. Goodacre were sent to ICG for encapsulation to preserve their heritage. So, the short answer to your question is that the coin must be in the original ICG holder or have been crossed over to a PCGS or NGC holder which has the Goodacre designation on the label to be worth a premium. Any coin not in a holder cannot be proven to be a presentation piece, regardless of how it looks.

What a great idea!

Judging by the Anthony Dollars that I have seen, anytime you can get a 67 on a business strike from '79 to '81, you've made a major coup. Even the ones I've seen in mint sets were baggy. Nice job.

Well done, Greg! I think it is great when one of our members finds a new variety. 

I have an 1881 S in MS 64,I was interested in the mintmark and the rarity of it.
 

Congrats! 

Only that part which has gone past glossy black to dull black. On an album tone coined for example, that color is usually near the rim, since toning starts there and progresses toward the center of the coin. Do you have a picture of Sunnywood's toning progression scale? It explains color progression very well.
To the OP: sorry about getting your thread off topic. It just seemed like a good place to post some information that might be helpful to newbies who read this thread down the road.

If you found it in your car, it probably crawled in there to keep from getting beat up again.

I sent the seller this short-but-to-the-point message < This coin is not rare. There were over 1.5 billion minted in 1967, none of which had a mint mark. They are still often found in circulation.>

That's the kind of parking lot coin you want to find!

Let's keep it accurate here. A chip off the punch would likely show up as a raised area on the die, which would show up as an incuse area on the coin. A chip off the die would show up as a raised area on the coin.
