It's a little high. .1 or .2 is normal. The .4 is probably within tolerance, but if they are all short, something is not right. OK, so the mint...
The 1909 VDB is worth relatively more than other coins in the same quantity. Supply and demand. There is a demand for this coin. Uncleaned and in...
Considering the ground was almost frozen and it was a low gas expense local hunt, I was pleased with the results. The wheatie is a mangled 1952-D....

If you can sell them for $18 a roll that's a good deal right there. Immediate return, and you keep a few nice ones for free.
One of these sold for $375 plus $75 buyers premium. But I think that one was AU-55 and the OP's coin is AU-details. Great error coin.
If Fred says it's 1980, I would go with that until proven otherwise.

How many 1942 aluminums are there? I am aware of the 1974 story.
The mint mark isn't strange. Look at the coin see how scratched and circulated it is? The mint mark is smashed from: 1. something striking it 2....
It straight graded, so the gunk didn't hurt it. The reverse doesn't look like copper at all.
They made tons of these 1943 cents. There's no evidence that any cents were made from spent shell casings. The composition of the "shell case...
Have to be careful buying gold coins at a jewelers. (Unless it is just bullion.) Because if a jeweler has it the chance is it was jewelry at one...
Scratch on the reverse. Strange marks on the obverse. It's less than a quarter if it hasn't been reprocessed. 1 cent if it has. I'll go AU-Details.
Best scoop of the new year. Wheatie is 1942. [ATTACH]
A nickel struck on a cent planchet might be worth getting slabbed. Paddy might know the value for something like this, but I don't think they are...
