A few coin questions

It seems that error coins receive the lion’s share of the public attention on coin collecting, confirmed by this set of submitted questions to the Sacramento Bee. Someone found a ‘005’ Lincoln Head Cent that they were curious about, and were told it was only worth a few bucks. It can be disappointing when you find an item you hope will allow you to retire early, only to learn it will buy you a burger, but that’s to be expected. The chances of finding an extremely rare coin is pretty slim.
