2012 Penny! My first awesome find! Worth anything?

Looks like the outline of Lincoln is on the front twice and back once! What caused this?! and if you look above the liberty you can see the letters "ber" printed again!

It looks like some sort of glue or epoxy stuck to the coin and not an error IMO, sorry...

 

I think its PMD from 2 different cents being smashed together. But others here are more educated and will chime in, but thats just my 2 cents ;p

 

Yuuuup! Glue.

 

No, it's engraved. I'm for sure of that and you can see the lettering of the other liberty clearly. You can also feel the extra metal on the coin itself.

 

You guys are joking right. LOL. No way it is glue.

 

We aren't joking, there isn't a way that the coin could have come from the mint like that.
Dip it in acetone for a little bit and the glue should come off.

 

and glue can write extra letters on the coin? lol Sorry but it's not glue it is extra metal. Look above the liberty and you can see the extra letters and some other markings

 

Yes, if you have 2 coins stuck together, the details from one coin can remain on the glue, and that glue can remain stuck on another coin. It isn't extra metal, no metal is added to a coin when it is struck.

Check this out!!!!!!! See Liberty going downwards from the E? OMG so cool

 

oh snap! And an ext D mintmark!

 

obviously none of you have a penny like this one!!! Rare find indeed! Gonna let my dealer examine it tomorrow!

 

I can make them by the hundreds. How many would you like to buy?

 

As others have told you, it's glue or epoxy from where someone has glued two coins together. The reason none of us have a "penny" like that one is that we don't keep coins with glue on them. Several of us here who have responded to you have searched enough that we've seen too many of these to count. Soak it in acetone and then get back with us.

 

Please! Don't embarrass yourself.

 

You still haven't responded to the facts that:
1) No extra metal is added to the coin when it is struck, and
2) If it is an error (which it is not), how do you know it is an error, and did it occur during the minting process?

 

I am "glued" to my chair waiting to see how this one turns out...

 

Don't get snowballed by your dealer, obviously a 9,000,000 USD coin.

 

What will you do with all of the money that coin is going to bring? I'm thinking that you'll never have to work again. You'll be able to afford maids and servants, a personal butler and you'll own, and live in, a "cottage" along the Cliff Walk in Newport.
