I was coin bag hunting a bag of $200 worth of nickels however this bag is from coin star originally from the First Community Credit union of Coos Bay Oregon and it has pennies and other denominations in it as well and I am a penny collector so the first coin I see is a Wheat penny so I dug to get to it and it's the first 1909 I have ever found in change but it looked like a 1909 p no vdb which is way cool to me this one being my first ever 1909 found in change that's really old wow. My dad was curious to look at it with his loop and said put it under your coin camera so I did and I see what looks like an S but the coin is so scratched up I can't tell for sure. So I would like your guy's opinion is this a 1909-S Wheat cent?

There is a lot of reflective light, is it in a holder? Try taking a black & white photo. Milestone coming up, contest time ?

Even if an S used to be there, it's so damaged that there is no value. A damaged 1909 Wheat cent is worth 5 cents or so.

I don't have one so worth filling the hole for my s space till I can get one in better condition! I think it's an altered s mint maker just heavily worn. Take a look at what an altered s looks like in next picture.

I can kind of see what you're seeing, OP, but I'd just call this one a 1909 (P) myself.

There is no mint mark on this coin.
Any S you see is just wishful thinking (and we'd all like to find a 1909-S, wouldn't we?)
