That is different. I would take it to a coin dealer, or you can call Leon Hendrickson at SilverTowne, a coin dealer in Winchester, Indiana. That looks like some kind of double strike, but kind of odd only one number is there. Looks like a faint "8" just to the left of the upper "6", but can't really tell. You can email SilverTowne at sales@silvertowne.com or go to there website. Neat find none the less.

Thanks so much for that i will email him yea I thought it was weird also had to do the double look take and say wow thanks again.

Let us know what you find out. I collect coins but have never seen that before in a '66. Leon or the staff up there will do you fine. If they don't know they will find out.

 

[steveholdem]

I Just Emailed him, will let you know as soon as i find out. thanks again.

This Is The response I got from silvertowne, I cleaned it a little better now but they don't know about this, theres a us stamped on his head, the word trust in god we trust is not spelled right it's really weird trust is spelled tuet, the back on one cent the T on cent is way off line I will get better pictures and put them out so you can see, thanks for everything DK RESPONSE BELOW FROM SILVERTOWNE.

BETTER PICTURES ADDED AFTER I GOT THIS RESPONSE FROM SILVERTOWN?



THIS IS KNOWN AS HUB DOUBLEING. IT IS COMMON AND HAS LITTLE VALUE ABOVE THE FACE VALUE OF THE COIN.----- DEXTER

Glad to help out. That is still a collectible coin in my book as it is one of those odd ball mis-strikes. May not be worth much dollar wise, but I would add it to my collection none the less. The boys up at SilverTowne know their business. I was just up there a couple of weeks ago. Bought a lot of coins from them.

What ever you do dont take any coins to sell them. They will not give you anything for them. I live 8 miles from them. I took an Abraham Lincoln campaign token in to them that i found in a field and they told me it came out of a cracker jack box. they offered me $1 for it. 2 months later when i went back they asked me about the token. They are crooks and have went to jail because of it. Dont trust them

This is only post mint damage. If it were mine, I'd spend it.
