I sort with a Ryedale then hand sort for wheats etc.. I thought I had a 1999 wheat, but I knew it couldnt be.. a closer look showed my my 2nd 1909 VBD this year! This is why I like sorting... the thrill of the hunt! later.. got 5 more bags to go thru..

Pictures, pictures! Was it from a bank box or bagged coins?

Put down the bags of pennies...walk away from the Ryedale....take a deep breath...get your camera out...AND GET US A PICTURE!

haha,,, here is a pic.. front and back

SAAAAAAAWHEAT!!!!!

I am trying to squint an S onto it for you.

Great coin man.

Would that be considered RB?

Very nice, can you imagine what's still out there?

Nice, restores my faith when the sorting gets tough.

The RB (Red/Brown) designation applies only to MS (Mint State or Uncirculated) coins. This coin is very close, to MS, and might actually get there, altough I think AU is most likely. Unless it does it's automatically "Brown".

Saw the pictures. I hope I look that good when I'm 102 years old.

Mmmmm...nice. I still need one for my Dansco folder.

congratulations that looks great

nice find.

That's awesome...i haven't been going through my coppers to look for wheats, nor do I re-run my reject zincs. I was just in it for the copper, but finding something like ths is pretty darn cool. Maybe I should change my ways!

Wow - what a find! Makes you wonder where it's been these last few decades.

Thats a great find! Would look good in my 7070!

SO-WHEAT

Someday I'll find a penny of that caliber....someday.

nice find man. great shape

If only the penny could talk. 102 years is a long time to get in circulation. I found a 1909 non-vbd a couple of years ago, and that penny one could tell has been circulated during that period.

Well this penny was clearly in a collection until recently. There is no other explanation for a coin so close to MS of that age and rarity.

Someone's grand father died and this just shows that your "death documents" should explain how to properly dispose of your estate

Awesome find! Congrats!!!

I agree with others, IF ONLY the coins could talk and tell us their history.

Enjoy your coin searches, everyone.

Impressive, sir! Your great find gives me new hope.
