Question
I have a 1995 D penny that looks like part of the reverse side is impressed on Lincoln body. Is this a coin that I should keep. Could it be worth anything.
Hi Linda, The type and extent of the error influences the value as well as amount of wear and collector demand. I'd guess $100+.
You might try the Error Coins link on this web site: http://coinsite.com/ or http://www.jimscoins.net/error_coin_examples.php .
You might take it by a local coin shop for a first hand opinion: http://find.mapmuse.com/interest/coin_dealers .
