joshkellogg Valued Member United States 150 Posts	Posted 09/06/2013 10:45 pm Hello again. I found this cent a couple days ago searching some individual rolls, and have to say, it's the first cent I've found that I can't read the date on. I've taken (and posted) some photos, including one photo with contrast adjustments and zoom. Any opinion would be appreciated. The back of the coin is in bad shape, but I don't think I see any sign of a VDB. Ha... Report this Post to the Staff

joshkellogg Valued Member United States 150 Posts	Posted 09/06/2013 11:37 pm I see the 19 in the third photo- but I feel like the second 1 is smaller, and kind of round, no?

Thanks for the opinions, all. Report this Post to the Staff

Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 09/07/2013 7:37 pm At first glance with the 2 photos it briefly looks like a 1909-s, but the 3rd photo is the best 1 and it clearly looks like a 1919-s. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 09/08/2013 3:28 pm Sort of looks like a %#)&X#. In other words, just not sure but possibly 19. Report this Post to the Staff
