So Close...
by natsb88 » Tue Sep 01, 2015 5:00 pm
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?

If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.

That coin has got lots of eye appeal!

substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) and selling short as well.

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