Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 09/22/2010 12:36 am I have a fairly worn but not super bad cent as listed in the Subject. Cannot discern the missing/illegible digit. Might need to try and get some pics. but in the meantime was wondering if there were some distinct attributes/diagnostics available for comparison of the 09-S and 19-S coins. I have ruled out the coin as being a 29,39 or 49. Has to be an 09 or 19 I have a 19-S I can use to compare, but no 09-S's laying around :) Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 09/22/2010 12:51 am Hi, Thanks. Yes I will resort to doing that if I find no attributes between the 09 and 19 that would make it a lock. I can use a friends scope at his jewelry store. Report this Post to the Staff
