I have a uncerculated us mint, one side of the coin says uncerculated with a big D in the middle and denver on the bottom. Its very similar to a penny but the color is slightly off from the penny. Can u give me more information or a value of this coin? I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
What year is it? It couldn’t be a WWII era copper-free penny, could it?
Does it have a value on it? Can you take a picture of each of its two sides and post them somewhere?
It’s just an uncirculated set token; you can see one here, at top right: http://i.imgur.com/Y0wAF4n.jpg
It probably has no substantial value by itself.
It actually says “uncirculated” on the coin itself? By chance does it have a BC date on it?
Sure, I’ll email it to you. What’s your address?
No. Let’s be accurate.
it says “uncerculated”.
Its a token included in sets of real coins - real USA uncirculated coins worth at least their face value. So it looks as well made like a coin but it is NOT a coin. On its own, this token is worthless. Its just a piece of metal.
Denver revers to the Mint in Denver.
How did this token get removed from a sealed set? A uncirculated set loses it value when you break the seal. It’s no longer uncirculated. It’s been exposed to air and possibly been handled.
As others said, the token has no value. It’s in the set to let people know the coins were issued uncirculated.
People break sets all the time to get coins slabbed (certified and placed in a sealed plastic container, like this one) by a service like PCGS. This usually happens when a collector buys a mint set and sees that one or more of the coins may grade at a very high grade like MS70. Once slabbed, its value is generally higher than one that is not slabbed.
