off topic-my first error coin

fongu

Well-known member
I was setting around the house last week going thru my change and looking thru the 1998, 1999 & 2000 Lincoln cents for one of the errors in the book Strike it Rich with Pocket Change and found a die clash error. It's not much value if any, but it's my first error coin and it made me happy.
Posting a couple photos, but you may have to enlarge them to see the error. It's on the face of the penny and looks like the columns from the reverse stamped on the obverse. About middle ways on either side of the face or the nose and ear. Make that between the chin and nose on one side and between liberty and the hair on the other side of the face.
 
Ken said it had little or no value, but it's my first find and now I know I can find them and will continue looking for those that are worth something valuable, whether it's 5.00 or quite a few dollars. Heading to the coin show tomorrow at the Ga. National Fair site and it's supposed to rain all day and will stay out of the rain and hope I can get to go dirt fishing Saturday. Taking a few items I found to see if I might be able to swap or sell enough to get a usb microscope to help me see these coins better. The small 7X magnifier and the 30X loupe are okay, but I get a headache looking at coins with them.
I no longer have internet at the house, but I can use the monitor and hard drive to check out and save any photos of coins I find.
 
A coin with an error is alway worth more, depending on the condition of the coin, how coins had that error, and how many coins minted, alway protect thous coins, do not clean, any dents, scratches or other marks all deduct from the value or the coin.
