jarod Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Hi everyone, I just started collecting coins. I'm more interested in error coins and error currencies. I'm running into a 1966 error penny that I need your expertise. I don't want to buy something fake or something that is not a type of error from non Mint company. Any inputs is appreciated. Is it worth it to invest something like this error. Thank you, J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedeadpoint Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Check this out Jarod: Laminations as defined by LostDutchman When I think of laminations, I think of a coin that I found that looked like someone took a shaving off of - an indent on the coin itself. Your coin looks like something is protruding off of it instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will continue to find out what this error is. I'm glad to hear all the experts like yourself. I'm not even sure if it is worthwhile to purchase this coin. Thank you and any other inputs would be very appreciated. Thanks, J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarod Posted September 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 don't write it off completely... id still like to see a picture of the reverse... Hi, The seller said the back side is just like an ordinary penny. I just don't get sometimes, I guess he/she does not want me to buy it. The buyer is offering me $10 for this coin. I'm neot even sure if this ia good buy or not. Oh well, I guess I'll pass. Thanks everyone. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
