trdhrdr007 Pillar of the Community United States 2335 Posts	Posted 05/10/2023 3:00 pm I've been digging through some of the unmarked rolls from the Lincoln hoard I bought & this coin turned up. Definitely been through some hard times. Looks like it might have spent some time in the ground, damaged when it was dug up, & then harshly cleaned to remove corrosion. Sorry about the pictures, especially the reverse. When it's tilted just right it almost looks like the remnants of a VDB so I tried to make that stand out. Upon further examination I don't think it's a VDB. Report this Post to the Staff

hokiefan_82 Pillar of the Community United States 3634 Posts	Posted 05/11/2023 02:29 am Finding a 1909-S LWC is really something, but that poor coin has been abused in a lot of different ways. It hadn't seen a lot of circulation wear, but as you said, it's been through some hard times! Member of SPMC, FCCB, ANA and ANS.

trdhrdr007 Pillar of the Community United States 2335 Posts	Posted 05/11/2023 08:29 am I saw a friend of mine last night. Turns out he doesn't have an 09-S & would like it as a hole filler. He might change his mind when he sees it... Report this Post to the Staff
