It just looks like a normal cent.

It's a normal cent with no especially valuable properties.

It sounds like PVC contamination and wiping most definitely is not what you want to do. The coins require professional (or at least, experienced/expert) conservation.

Hands-down, this is the best opening post I've seen since getting back on the boards a few months ago!

Don't worry, folks - they'll both be in slabs, soon. Perhaps they'll be brand-new "prototype" varieities!

It looks like trivial post-mint damage from those photos.

Another laughable marketing ploy, which wouldn't be so hilarious if not for the fact that somebody will fall for this nonsense, and pony up big bucks.
Well, at least they're the "finest known" according to PCGS, so that means they must be something extra double-special, right??

This looks like a coin struck off of one or both worn dies.

It isn't really ironic at all. As a loose, general rule-of-thumb, the more valuable a coin is, the more likely it is to have been cleaned at some point.

Common damage that happens to have distorted a numeral.

Or put it on eBay and make thousands of dollars!

Exchange it at your local bank.

Not a U.S. coin.

Not genuine.

I agree - it's a jewelry piece, albeit an odd choice for jewelry. Perhaps it commemorates someone's birth year.

I see tweedledum and tweedledee, and maybe Woodstock.

Didn't Sheldon propose eleven grades for UNC?

To me, that's an above-average error. On a U.S. coin, I'd imagine it going for $200 to $300, but on a Canadian piece, it might not prove to be as valuable.

This happens when such a coin is struck with worn dies.
