bugo Valued Member United States 223 Posts	Posted 06/19/2014 9:33 pm I bought 20 rolls of pennies to go through today. In the second roll I went through, I found this gem. What do you think it would grade at? It's not in bad shape at all for being 115 years old and still in circulation. Report this Post to the Staff

bugo Valued Member United States 223 Posts	Posted 06/20/2014 10:48 am Thanks everybody for your positive comments. I'm still "buzzing" over finding it and I'm sort of in shock. Yeah, it wasn't a 1909-S VDB but it is still a special coin that I will always treasure and the oldest Lincoln Cent that I have found in circulation (and the oldest that I will ever find, as this is an early strike.) I have a couple 1909 VDBs that I bought off of ebay that aren't nearly this nice, and on one you can barely see the VDB. On this one, the VDB is obvious. Report this Post to the Staff

OldSkoolMadSkilz Pillar of the Community United States 2077 Posts	Posted 06/20/2014 9:31 pm Pretty cool find. I'm thinking it really wasn't in circulation that long. It probably made it's way from a collection to the bank quite unintentionally. Report this Post to the Staff
