I would love to know what condition this would qualify as. I found it in my drawer (Im a cashier)it came from a roll of pennies. Sadly there is no mint mark but it looks really good to me at least.   *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

 to the family! Yea, too bad didn't have the S mintmark on back below ribbon, woulda been a semi key date! Nice find, sounds like you have a good source to scope out change. Look for silver coins, wheat pennies, even foreign coins too. The bills too if you get a chance, learn how to spot the older ones by the seal colors. Tried to get my daughter to do this at her cashiers job. Grade on coin is EF35 or even XF 40, someone cashed in grandpa's collection looks like   |

Nice find from a roll, even without mintmark. Probably grades VF-30 or so. There are minor marks and some small scratches on the cheek, but no serious problems. Congrats! |

Too bad it wasn't an 08S. It is a solid VF + maybe an xf40 on a good day, it has good details and almost 4 diamonds. Sadly the 1908 P is common and worth only about $5-$10 in the condition it sits.

Four diamonds gives it AU sharpness even if the color doesn't merit it. EF-45 at worst, nice score. to the CCF! |

Agree with The Frog. Ribbon separated from the curl and nice diamond detail XF-45. if it had a better strike on the headdress I would have called it AU. Awesome find!

Nice find!  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
