SjlundCoin....the pics I took inside, I had to use a flashlight to get enough light because my camera was so close to the coin.
The one outside was just ambient light.

I planned on sending it to PCGS but wanted to get some opinions from folks who were much more familiar with this, like all of you who comment........Thanks

Definitely looks like the real thing to me! Congrats, many folk would consider the find of a lifetime! The mintmark doubling is just Machine Doubling and it can pretty much happen on any coin to include error/variety coins.

Slamnbass, I found it about 2 weeks ago and have been trying to research it and ran across this website.

Jake the Dog, thanks for letting me know about the Machine Doubling on the mint mark and can still be a doubled die. That was my main concern about this coin.

That's awesome joe congrats! If your planning on selling it you may just want to deal with heritage auctions directly but if that's the route your thinking others will be along I'm sure that can better guide you on that route
Rest in Peace

Amazing Joe - and this would be for me the find of a lifetime. Did you fill the wife in on your spectacular find? I would say you both should be doing a dance

Thanks CoinCents, she definitely knows about it and now she isn't nearly so concerned about me having 20,000 pennies sitting on the floor of my office.
