Hello, This is my first post so advice about formatting and other stuff would be appreciated. I came across this penny while doing a penny press demonstration for my Boy Scout troop. This came out of the roll and I was very surprised. I am not sure what this would be (not at all experience with proofs) and any help with identification/grading/pricing would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help   Edited by Anth3mking

Took the liberty to modify  to the forum. First off nice roll Find! A 1909 proof will have rims squared off where connects to field...a business strike is rounded there. Yours appears rounded, but in exceptional condition. I would put it in a 2x2 quick and stop the munchkins from handling it! Looks like an AU58 or MS60BN, a very high grade coin!   Edited by Crazyb0

To the CCF ... you came to the proper place for truly expert advise.  with Crazyb0 analysis and recommendation ... nice coin worth preserving but NOT a Proof strike. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

Incredible roll find, I'd guess a value of $15-$20.

That is a nice 1909-VDB. It is not a proof however. Here's a close-up image of the reverse.  |

Not a proof, but I'd say it has been cleaned, possibly lightly polished.
