Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 03/13/2020 3:54 pm to the CCF! It looks like it may have been buried for a time. The acidity of the ground it was buried in has caused the outer surfaces to corrode. It could have been cleaned and then returned to circulation.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/13/2020 7:23 pm How can we tell the difference? The shape of the '9's are different: The bottom of the '7' droops below the '0' in the date. When searching for these on the internet, you can use a business card and tell which is which even if the angle the date on the image: Report this Post to the Staff

Tjones0073 New Member United States 49 Posts	Posted 03/16/2020 4:55 pm So COOP, how would I go about get a decent premium for it then? If you don't mind me asking. I travel for a living. I enjoy looking at coins in my spare time. I've let some nice pieces get away due to my lack of knowledge and a thief. So if possible, point me in the right direction please. Thank you kindly.

Tjones0073 New Member United States 49 Posts	Posted 03/16/2020 7:17 pm I also have another question about this particular coin. Please, to the CC. Is it possible for this coin to be over a wheat back penny? Only curious. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/16/2020 8:03 pm Large dates are the common ones. Just a few dies had the ODV-026 dies on them. Thus why everyone is looking for the small date ones. Your coin is a spender or to be save as copper melt in the future. Report this Post to the Staff
