Hey guys and gals
just got back into the hobby and sorted through my first boxe of cwr pennies since about a year ago or more. anyway in my first few rolls there was nothing but wheat pennies. the rest of the box was solid copper with a few wheats throughout. in total i found about 300 wheats and not a penny in the box dated past 1975. but the best on i found was a 1909 s vdb!!!! i just sent it to be grade but it was still red and shiny im expecting it to come back atleast ef 45 if not higher!!!! my guess is this person had it for a while and the grand kid got the collection and brought it to the bank. anyway that is my best find ever in a box and to think a couple hundred dollars for 1 penny!!!!

Plain and simple.

Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."

| Excellent find. Would be my dream come true- super congrats for ehem, "preserving the past" |
The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; second is war. Both bring a temporary (and false) prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunities. |

Hi cakesea,
Where do you send your coins for grading?
What is the process, any idea of cost for a couple of coins?
Cheers |

1909 S VDB...Oh My!!! Congrats!
Can't wait to see the photos. Hopefully the coin will be back from the grader soon. It didn't take too long for my coin to return from being graded.
Continued success.
