1909-S - very nice color for a "brown" coin. Congrats ! Excellent taste in coins.
Hmmmmm. :goof: Eagle's lower right (facing) wing, neck... very sharply defined "toning" lines. Upper left wing and southeast of the tail, as...
It would be interesting to know what portion of the national debt is due to the "pain" of making Lincoln cents. I bet it's 0.0001%. Why make...
