This confirms my suspicions. The "matte" look of the surfaces prove that the coin has, at one time, been cleaned. While the cleaning may be 50 or...
I'd say that it was the coin, not you, that got taken to the cleaner's. The color is not natural, its to "even," and there are no spots of carbon;...
I, too, apologize for my comment. You must understand that it is very unbelievable to find an '09 like that in change; very few people have ever...
no No NO!!!! PLEEEEEZE don't keep this thread alive!!! We've seen enough! Please no one post anymore!!!! please :)
Now that is a believable find. Congrats! I, too found one in change, a 1946. No VDBs, though :cool:
Where's pupa? Is that you again behind all those coins you found in change? "Granny died and placed one 1909 VDB in 65 RD into circulation. I...
as had been said before on this forum, you must post pictures before anyone here can help you.
In order to properly value the item stated above, pictures are a must. No valuation or information about the coin you mentioned can be given...

A family member gave me two rolls of indian cents for christmas; I found TWO 1872's in VF and an 1874, along with an 1867 in AG. Talk about good...
Very nice story! I've been following your threads and must say, you have a gold mine, literally! At least 5 figures, if genuine, and possibly...
Grade? Depending on strike, somewhere in the AU-50 (with a great strike) to MS-62 (with a nasty strike) Price? I really like the toning, but I...
Doesn't look like anything special; sorry. :( To be worth something, you would have to see significant doubling on the strike. Right now its...
Don't look to toning as a "factor of interest" as to rarity. Toning has no effect on price of a common coin, unless its REALLY lustrous or rainbow...
Absolutely no added value. Just toning and/or environmental effects. I'd throw it in a fountain; you'd get a free wish out of it, then! :)...
Very Nice!
All I can say is LOL... Lovin' craigslist!
Very cool T$! I've always loved this design.
