Second 1909 Cent Found In Two Weeks

I don't know how I'm going to curb my roll searching addiction if I keep finding cool coins. This 1909p (vdb?) cent was found in a customer deposit bank roll last night. I have a "weathered" collection going and I think this little artistic piece is beautiful. The corrison is so deep on it that I don't want to touch it to see if there is a vdb under it or not.

KEEP SEARCHING PEOPLE!!! THERE IS A LOT OF STUFF OUT THERE!!!

$40 lot including:
30 wheats - 09,18,2-36,2-37,39,40-58
Over polished 2000 die cent. I think it was a good die clash in the lower bust/date area
11 Canadians
7 Memorial S mints
5 - 2009p
2 dimes

That 09 is crusty! I don't see any signs of a "VDB" so my guess is that is a normal 09.

I like the greaser too.

 

I'd say the customer is lucky to have still received face value for what's left of it.

 

The oldest penny I've found in circulation is a 1910. I believe it was a Philadelphia no mintmark coin. A 1909-S VDB is on my circulation bucket list. Congrats on your find. Finding neat coins in circulation (coins in rolls are considered coins in circulation to me) is quite a rush.

 

It's hard to see the VDB on some circulated pennies. I have one that you can barely see with a magnifying glass.

 

Well. If you have any crusty cents like this one, I'll give you 3x face for them!

 

I had one so faint on the vdb, that you can only see it from one angle lol

 

This one was/is so rusty, for a brief moment, I thought I found a 1943 copper cent...

 

I have have some crusty steels too, but not that crusty!
