Texas collector Valued Member United States 369 Posts	Posted 01/19/2009 01:34 am For those of you who haven't heard the story, a man paid me one night for a CD in the electronics dept. at Wal-mart with exact change. In that change was this: Image: 1909VDBobv1.jpg 68.1 KB Image: 1909VDBobv2.jpg 61.53 KB Image: 1909VBDrev1.jpg 65.31 KB Image: 1909VDBrev2.jpg 91.7 KB I've been told a few grades, but I'd like to know what you all think.

coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 01/19/2009 04:28 am I'd say AU-55 but don't take that too seriously, because I'm absolute rubbish at grading these. Report this Post to the Staff

sfwusc Pillar of the Community United States 615 Posts	Posted 01/19/2009 11:42 am No deduction for the black spot on the T on the obs? Without out that...I would think AU 55-58. It is a super sweet coin either way! -SWUSC Report this Post to the Staff

Erwindoc Valued Member United States 265 Posts	Posted 01/19/2009 9:04 pm I have heard stories about people that put things like that in their change to generate interest in collecting. Great find! Report this Post to the Staff
Texas collector Valued Member United States 369 Posts	Posted 01/19/2009 11:53 pm Thanks for all the replies everyone. I'd been waiting to see about the grade on this coin for a while, but I didn't have a camera until yesterday. My local coin dealer said he thought it was ef, and a guy at a coin show I went to said MS60-63. So I'm glad to see that you all agree with me that it is better than EF. Thanks!

I can reassure you that it would be impossible to have a true EF coin with that much original red left. That one has very high end Red-Brown color and could only grade high AU at the lowest based on color alone. Nice one cent investment Report this Post to the Staff
