While looking through some more of my Whitman albums I found this in the back in one of holes of the "extra coin" section. I don't know how I missed it before but what a nice little surprise. Despite the numerous scratches, dings, etc... I think it shows little wear for a 101 year old coin. I just wanted to share and hear your thoughts on it. Thank you for looking    |

I always look to see how much is left on the wheat feathers if they're strong its a good'un! Yea the teens are hard to get nicer ones, most have the date last two digits too worn off.

Very nice not quite lost find.
The age of a Coin has nothing to do with its grading standard. While it's very cool to have a 101 year old coin, it is graded the same as the same type cent minted much later.

VF sharpness, but obverse pic is too reflective to judge surfaces.

Nice. I got ya topped though, when I bought all the lower end wheat's to finish the 09-1940 Whitman I bought a 1928-S in AU for I think $22.00 I got bored and looked at it on a rainy day 15 months later and I discovered happily I had purchased the more valuable and cool 1928-S FS-501. Ain't it sweet when a common pops out of nowhere and surprises ya? I love em all man. Wanna sell that baby? Im getting burned out on the LMC's and feel inner rumblings to redo and upgrade the albums. Wheat's rule! |
