19tommy78 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 What do you guys think of this penny?. Do you think this penny is worth $50.00 ? This penny was offered to me by a ex co-worker. Just don't want to make a bad call again. And lose more money.. And by the way. Thanks for all the help you guys gave me. I did walk away with some knowledge. That's why I'm here before I make a bad call.. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoghead515 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I'm not real sure on pennies. That kinda looks like it may be a lamitation error. Some more knowledgeable will be on soon to let u know. 19tommy78 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoghead515 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Cool find my friend if it is a lamentation error. I'm not real sure of the values on pennies. I haven't dealt with them much financially. 19tommy78 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VKurtB Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 No, no, no, no, NO! It’s not worth anything even remotely resembling a $50. Closer to fifty CENTS for a guy who collects nasty cents. Modwriter and JT2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldhoopster Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 It appears to be a lamination error, but the condition is pretty bad. Cool for a buck +/-, big mistake at $50 IMO Modwriter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Bob Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Definitely not worth anywhere close to $50. Modwriter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKK Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 No. Replace dollars with cents as the denomination and then ask whether you should pay that amount. I would not give $0.50 for it. If your guy tries to hoopla you into paying him that, ask him what the coin shop offered him. And furthermore, it's time to decide whether the ex-co-worker is a) clueless about coins, or b) a ripoff artist. It's one of those two. If a), no big deal; that after all describes most of our new posters here, and there's no shame in it. It can even be remedied with a little effort. If b), it goes to character.

Coinbuf Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 It is a cool lamination error, and if it was in a top tier TPG holder with the error on the label I imagine that an error dealer would be asking at least $50 for it. However as a raw coin that is not attributed as an error its value is whatever someone will pay for it, myself I'd pay a couple of bucks tops.

RWB Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 It's barely worth one-cent. Minor delamination and lots of damage, staining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VKurtB Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 The corrosion ruins whatever appeal it had as a lamination, if it even really is one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
