    its worth $6 if its in pretty good shape. flip the coin over to the back and look on the bottom where it says quarter dollar. look between the word quarter and the word dollar, and look up just a little bit up right by the eagles tail feathers. if there is a small O there its worth $10, and if there is a S there, its worth $15. this is only if its in good condition. can you post some pictures?:cool:

    sorry about the bluryness. it's hard to take a picture a coin. any way i found this at a gas station near my home and i was riding there with my friends to buy a slushy. and i looked down and there it was along with 2 other pennies. my coin is in very bad condition. the worst condition i ever saw.

    Ironically, this coin's condition looks to be what we'd grade as a Good or Very Good (hard to tell from blurry pics).

    hth,
