THE 1909 CLUB
Posted: Tue Sep 21, 2010 11:24 amThe year 1909 in coins is fascinating to me. At the start of the year, the mint was producing Indian cents. Soon after, they switched to the Lincoln cent, and both mints used the wheat design with the VDB initials on the reverse. Within a few weeks, they removed the initials, creating a third type for the year. Through this year, there were two mints producing coins: San Fransisco and Philadelphia. That makes for a grand total of 6 cents in one year!
So I am founding THE 1909 CLUB. If you want to join THE 1909 CLUB, all you have to do is find one of those six cents in your sorting, and post about it here. It's a rather exclusive club, wouldn't you say? But it's a club that, with a little diligence, you could someday be a part of.
So... if you have found a 1909 cent in the years 2010-12, please post information about it below. Pictures are not necessary, but would be very much appreciated (and maybe even envied). On a side note, if you would like to be an ancillary member of THE 1909 CLUB, you may provide information about finding another United States coin from 1909 - any denomination is fine. And you know what else? If you find a WORLD COIN from 1909 in your searches, go ahead and post that too. We'll call that the international division.
