I know how you feel! This is my first one! I just bought 43 pounds of wheat backs at a local auction and found this and a few other surprises so far. It's going to take me a while to go through them all, but what fun!
Thanks Much.

Excellent. Any chance we could see full pics of the coin's obverse and reverse--to get an overall sense of the coin's condition? Thanks.

Sure. Perhaps you can help me with that as I am not good at grading. It is a little beat up but not to bad. Thank you.    |

   Congrats on the super find! Since you have so many coins to sort through what's your method? Magnifier type? Stereo Microscope? I'd probably use a hands free lighted magnifier if it was me at least to start. Have a card table set up where they could stay, and some sheets of paper labeled or boxes to put them in as I sort through them. 43 pounds works out to approx. 6235 coins (based on 145 copper cents to the pound). More than a full bag of 5000. Largest bag I ever bought was only around 7 or 8 pounds, but it was still fun going through them, I was a lot younger with much better eye sight then.

Wexler's Die Varieties is a web site. Is that what you mean? It is a reference for the coin I posted and many others.
And I am not really a new member. I just haven't posted in a couple years.
