VF20, Worth maybe $35-40. Nothing special.

Except for silver and gold collector coins, US coinage has been horrible since 1965.

It’d still work, but you’ll need to have eaten your Wheaties, if you’re of the age to get that reference. 

I stopped eating wheaties when I saw what they did to Jenner. 

This conversation brings up the question - Those "smooshers" at amusement parks are made to work with soft copper and zinc cents. What would happen if you put a steel cent in one? 

E-Bay link? 

The photos look obvious to me that the obverse is copper colored and the obverse clad layer is missing.

The offset edge letters kind of confirm it.  But, I have not looked into how the edge lettering machine works on these.

BUT, I guess this could also be some kind of crazy acid etching post mint.

Don't know what the $0.97 is about.

Don't forget the $ 2.95 shipping on a 6k coin! 

I agree with Condor. Damaged 9

Here is a graded PL GSA for you to compare.  

Be aware that photos taken IN the GSA holder sometimes do not reflect the actual coin.

Let me just say that anyone who tries to create interest in numismatics today, where many younger people could care less about it, is an asset to us all.

And with some of the horrors coming out of the US Mint today, just about any decent design could surpass the mint!
