just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 02/09/2014 10:33 pm What you found is a -909 coin. Made way, way back in 909, just prior to the year -910. The - is used to represent AD. If it was a 909 BC, the - would have been after the 909 since BC is before AD. Or it's a Mint error. Or the 1 in 1909 fell over since it was so small. Nice find.

Dave42 Pillar of the Community United States 571 Posts	Posted 02/10/2014 09:44 am Sorry, it's just damage. Something in the past has hit the 1 and shifted the metal over to look like a dash. It could have happened 100 years ago, and time and wear have erased any scrape marks that may have been there when it happened. Sometimes, things like this occur when a coin goes through an automatic rolling machine, and the part that twists and crimps the end of the paper roll damages the coin.
