So Close...

I have a big floor model coin sorter/counter that friends and family like to dump their jars of change in. I give them cash and treat the coin counter like a mini savings account, emptying it out to deposit the coins at the bank every couple of years. I was doing this today and I of course ran the pennies through a Ryedale first. I dumped the rejects into another coin counter to bag them and grabbed this off the top of the pile as it was falling into the machine...

There may not be an s but that is one damn nice coin.
It clearly has not been in circulation since 1909
I'm thinking high XF?

Usually lincoln cents from the early years are lighter in color due to the tin that is in them. Does it weigh out properly?
