<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sbart, post: 8060381, member: 116583&quot;]Believe It or not this stuff does happen!! My husband and I had been searching rolls for only a short period to help his dad finish his collection. We would buy unsearched lots and rolls off of ebay(laughs) and of course we all know that these rolls are not unsearched. So a lot came up of a powerseller that just threw massive amounts of items up at the same time that looked like more a liquidation seller. Needless to say there were 2 big lots seemed like the one ended up costing about 113.00. So after receiving it ( the coin rolls just tossed into a medium size flat rate and beat to all heck) we began to go through the rolls most of which were marked with year. We got to a old time plastic tube with the lid and those are really skinny and tight. My husband shook it , laid it on its side , beat it , you name it and those pennies did not want to come out of that tube that was marked 1939. You can imagine the rest. He said that is 1909 S.&nbsp; I turned it over and really having to look because it was unaltered, I said that is a VDB! A 1909 S VDB at 11 pm at night. Of course he had to call his dad and in the morning his dad thought he was dreaming about that phone call from us. After having our coin dealer check it sure enough- it was exactly that!! Pretty good find and when old collectors pass on many younger people don&#039;t know what is valuable and what is not our just wont go through misc. boxes like that. Only us coin nuts would dump that box and look at each individual coin<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Congrats on that find. Spectacular and exciting! Very nice that these coins come into the hands of collectors that truly appreciate the coin for history and value it holds.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
