Wow, that's an excellent roll find!  I agree that it probably came from someone else's collection, unfortunately. It has found a good home, though! As far as writing grades on 2x2s, I don't do it. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Thanks for all the feedback folks. We are quite new to this so I am probably asking an annoying question. Thanks for giving me helpful answers!

Ask away, that's the sole function of theis forum, for collector LEARNING. Be prepared to read an awful lot and bang your head many times! May I suggest a very easy read?  Edited by Crazyb0

Also (another newbie question) how do I find out what it is worth? I saw one online for hundreds of dollars that was not nearly as nice as this one. You could barely see the letters. It was professionally graded though. And it said "One in the neck" what the heck does that mean?
Is it worth sending this in to be graded? I thought it might be worth $20 or $30, but some others are way higher and not nearly as nice. Maybe they are error versions? Thanks again guys!

That would affect the grade in a very detrimental way if you submitted it. As it is, I believe your estimate is about right ($20-$30 if kosher). It would have to be valued over $100 to get graded, as a consensus rule for getting coins graded. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Very nice find. Do not clean the coin as cleaning will put hairlines marks on the coin and decrease the value. The one in the neck is an error that was created in the minting process. The numeral 1 is evident protruding from the front of the neck. There are a lot of different varities of error coins if you are interested in varieties pick up a copy of the CherryPickers Guide. |

That is awesome! As someone said, that has not been in the wild its whole life. I'd say that no matter what, if you got that for 1 cent it is the deal of a life time in terms of return on investment! Since you made such a great find with your son I would of course hang onto it. Financially it might not make sense to grade it but it may be a fun exercise to see how your grade stacks up to the professionals. I've seen a lot of people on this board play "you vs the TPGs" for fun.
