Popular Post VKurtB Posted October 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2019 Yesterday I was at my neighborhood "fancy shmancy" upscale urban grocery, and I was paying with Apple Pay from my checking account, when I noticed the aforementioned "give a penny, take a penny" bin on the counter. It was packed with what was probably the most gorgeous brand new cents I've ever seen! I'm going back today an paying cash and going to be a cent or two short and see what they are.

Marquez-Collector Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Do it, Maybe Post the best looking one from the bunch and maybe say what grade you think it is. I am quite curious and would be a good learning opportunity to hone our grading skills. KarenHolcomb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol! @Tridmn if you're looking at 2019's be sure to look for the ones without a neck. They are calling them the 'floating head'. Is this what you are referring to, coat touching his hair?

Conder101 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Doesn't really matter since it is just the result of an over polished die. Happens in a lot of years, probably all of them and probably at both mints. Not something I'd pay more than a quarter for, and I'd be hard pressed to pay that much.

Idk? I guess it's about who's into what. I found one sold on Pic Click in August for $26. Not too bad. Found several sold on ebay but idk what they sold for. So i guess it's like any other error, ie the 1-legged buffalo Nickel or the extra cactus AZ Quarter, it'll either be a hit or it won't, but it is still selling for quite mark up.

VKurtB Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I've often said that the "classic" method of error/variety collecting bears little resemblance to the more modern way that subspecialty is being practiced, and whether the new way works out or not financially depends on how much "demand" for them that can be stirred up.
