The easiest diagnostic for me is the last S in STATES. On the 40 reverse there is a serif where on the 38 reverse there isn’t. Yours has the serif.

I agree with Thomas. A common cent worth a cent. Not something you’d want to send to a TPG.
I’m with the glue contingency.
I didn’t see this clash listed but this one was close. It is part of the progression. Nice find!!...
Looking at Wexler’s listing and the 2 at Coppercoins it looks like your coin is not a match. To assist others with your diagnosis, take pictures...

What is a great find? Are all the great coins gone? Who defines ‘great’? The reality is that there are tons of great finds to be had. I think...
The 1999 is in a late die state so the first is washed out. Pretty common appearance with the squeeze method. Extra thickness on the outer...
My advice: collect what makes you happy. With regards your question, there are varieties for those dates worth collecting. Perhaps the most...
Sources can be important relative to their established streams/channels. I’m guessing but being close to the border you have exchanges. And...
