You can see from the picks it was obviously run over, if the scratches weren't there this coin would be in very good condition. I guess I was a little late finding it, lol!

DiscoLover82 Valued Member United States 218 Posts	Posted 02/27/2023 08:29 am WOW! Impressive. No matter what, that's still a 114-year-old coin that has somehow survived in circulation (or else recently been put back in circulation by somebody dumping/sneaking into a collection)! My dad recently got a 1920 cent in his change, and gave it to me because he knows I collect wheat cents. But that's nothing compared to an '09 VDB! Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 02/27/2023 10:00 pm The scratches are fairly fresh, So I wonder if it was recently dropped (did you find it outside of a coin shop?)

savatreatabvr Valued Member United States 54 Posts	Posted 02/28/2023 9:29 pm Didn't find it near a coin shop, I found it at a dilapidated strip mall in the parking lot between a Dominos Pizza and a Chase bank. I just realized I got my 2009 A #3 $100 note (LH 00000003 A) from that same bank. What are the odds, lol. Report this Post to the Staff
