Thanks for the welcoming and kind comments! I did some more research in the past couple hours, bpoc1 , and it's true! I was close, but no cigar ;)

If I had the "s" mint mark I could've taken a nice little vacation. Oh, well! Thanks for all the info everyone :)

Great find. It's very cool to know that coins over 100 years old are still being found in circulation.

What smokeriderdon said is certainly a possibility or this one has been idle in someones change jar for a long time and finally set free.

Thanks for sharing and

Wow, that's awesome! It's not everyday you find a wheatie, let alone a 09 VDB. only thing that could have made it better would be an 09-S VDB. Congratulations!

Welcome to CC! GREAT FIND! Looks to be EF-AU too. It's worth about $12-14.

That coin is worth a few dollars, but your story is priceless.

Not too bad to get in change! The best part of waking up is change like this with your cup. Alright my jingle is not as good as the original but I still like it.

Holy shnikees! I am totally curbing my profanity here, but if I received that in my change for coffee, there would be about nothing to stop me from blurting out something with four letters.
