GRR Valued Member United States 310 Posts	Posted 06/24/2012 01:11 am well, I still occasionally find some coins stashed by relatives in my parents storage room. I recently found a box of coins that belonged to one of my grandmothers. Inside was a bank envelope with "1909" written on it. Inside were 14 pretty nice 1909 Lincoln cents. 11 were VDB and 3 were non VDB. My family is historically from near Philly, so I doubted any "S" mint marks, but since some still had some luster and looked nice to the naked eye, I decided to throw them under the scope....this is the first one I looked at... Do I see a double die? No idea if it's worth anything as I've never really studied varieties, but I was surprised to see it. Report this Post to the Staff
