I thought these were worth 1 cent
HalfDollarEnthusiast t1_j25upmm wrote
They have collector value, if you get a blank cent planchet from the early 1800’s, they can easily go for $200

Humor me, how can you date it?
HalfDollarEnthusiast t1_j26eze5 wrote
The size of the planchet. Early 1800’s cents were about the size of current day half dollars

And Counterfeits?
HalfDollarEnthusiast t1_j26itam wrote
They are possible, but very hard to replicate. They have a very distinct look to them and the patina (because of the copper) has a natural aged look. A trained eye will be able to distinguish between a genuine and counterfeit (Look up “Large Cent blank planchet” on Google, you’ll see what I mean)

Ah ok thanks for the explanation. Have heard of things like double strikes but not planchet.

My thought as well.

Uncommon cents.

The correct term is stamp challenged.

From one stamp to another, I accept that challenge.

I got a deal for you. How about 2 penny’s.
I-Am-The-Yeeter OP t1_j24lpka wrote
It would be a profit considering I 'bought' it for 1 penny.
I found this at work. Since it wasn't my personal bankroll, a higher-up let me keep it if I replaced it with a regular penny

score!

You can make a lot of money if you bet people and they choose tails.

Customizable coins.

That’s worth a pretty penny
Secret-Squirrel86 t1_j27pg84 wrote
Have it put into on of those plastic containers collectable coins come in and hold onto it, it will probably become worth a good amount of money someday. Right now it's probably worth 100 to 300 times it's face value though; which is just $1 to $3.

These are known as blank planchets, worth around $1 - $2 each
