Newp I purchased this one from a member on CU, I had to pay dearly to get it but it “spoke to me”! It is graded MS 65 * (Star) in an NGC holder. The picture is not mine but represents the coin very well.
Went to my local shop and just couldn't resist this. 1 year type and 5219 mintage. Sorry for the horizontal pic.
"Acquired" this by finding it in a bag of unsearched wheats. A neat doubled die, and a cherrypicker's variety. :thumb:
They are picked for key dates, but rarely are they checked for die varieties. One person's wheat cents are another person's treasure.
Went to my LCS today and picked out 10 proofs, looking for ones with the strongest cameos. Got a few CAMS, UCAMS, and I think this one is definitely DCAM... I just realized I put it in the wrong slot. D'oh!
