<p>[QUOTE=&quot;placement93, post: 1546789, member: 39525&quot;]My favorite was a 1909 V.D.B.&nbsp; I found a 1906 Indian head that was, obviously, older, but the novelty of the V.D.B. moved me from copper hoarding to appreciating coins for numismatic rather than just melt value.&nbsp; I have a couple of newer toned pennies that I find to be plain beautiful, with striking iridescent purple/greens and white &quot;frosty&quot; areas in Abe&#039;s beard.&nbsp; I know how CT can be about people describing coins without pictures, but my digital camera is out of commission and&nbsp; the camera on my phone is lousy to the point that it&#039;s barely worth mentioning.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1909 V.D.B. is also neat because that was within my first 20,000 pennies I searched.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been through enough to have near 1000 40&#039;s and 50&#039;s wheats and more than $400 in copper, and I haven&#039;t found anything in pennies on that par since.&nbsp; However, I did find a 1950-D nickel within my first $200 or so, and long before I found any silver war nickels.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
