llewellin Pillar of the Community United States 1005 Posts	Posted 03/26/2019 12:05 pm Perhaps this coin has been in circulation continuously (cash registers, bank vaults, coin jars, etc.) since being released in 1909, and just by slim chance was never recognized and plucked out by a collector. This could make a neat local news story if you want Report this Post to the Staff

I would expect a lot more wear from 110 years.

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7618 Posts	Posted 03/26/2019 6:38 pm Real. Obverse scratch hurts it. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15428 Posts	Posted 03/26/2019 6:54 pm Read this entire thread - it would indeed be an amazing circulation find if genuine. Hopeful that the OP can somehow gain this validation - our experts are the best and TPG is a 2nd level consideration. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 03/26/2019 8:02 pm Still not definitive. The dip in the center bar of the letter B is not clear. Can this be sharpened? I know you guys hate me, but the odds here are (literally) billions and billions to one. I want to be sure. Edited by Coinfrog 03/26/2019 8:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4692 Posts	Posted 03/26/2019 8:09 pm I don't think the OP has capability of better pics (what do you want from an apple phone?), but has sent coin off to TPG. Edited by jimbucks 03/26/2019 8:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 03/26/2019 8:10 pm It sure seems to check all the boxes, and I can't tell if the scratch is really severe enough to preclude its receiving a straight grade. Outstanding (probably once in a lifetime) find! Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

Yeah, I agree, it seems good but can't quite see it to be 100% sure. My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!) Report this Post to the Staff
