FOUND 1909 S VDB CENT

[waseeker]

Was going to either play golf or metal detect today but it was just too darned cold and rainy so I decided to search a bag of cents I picked up yesterday.

About half way through the bag I found wheat side up what looked like an older one so I sat it aside until I finished the bag. After finishing the bag I looked at the ones I had sat aside and was absolutely shocked to find a 1909 S VDB cent.

I have also posted the complete story in the coin roll hunting section, but I figured since I was going to metal detect to day, and since I found this today and since my 1910 gold sovereign I found a couple of years ago with my metal detector wasn't good enough for the banner, maybe this find will make it

Excellent! But what do you mean by picking up a bag?
I've seen bags for sale on eBay, never knew if it was worth it or not.

Banner!!! Banner!!! Banner!!! The detail on the reverse is fantastic. Easily a $1000 coin.

I have 3 branch banks that sell me the bags that come off of their coin counter. That is where I get them. Have made some nice finds over the year but nothing like this one.

Even more impressive that this was found NOT metal detecting I would say. Unbelievable!

Great find in the bag. I would never get that lucky in a million years! I vote banner as well...but don't ask to be banner! lol I just found a sword blade from the CW and I kinda think it's banner worthy, but others have to feel the same way. lol I don't see every day that someone finds a sword or a 1909 S VDB wheat back for that matter! Great find.

I agree with the not asking and I dont think he did. Unlike a certain Mississippi button.

No no no! I know he didn't really ASK to be banner, just kind of a gripe that he hasn't made banner with a previous find. I see lots of banner worthy stuff in my opinion(this being one of them) but they never make it, but I also don't see them complaining that they don't make a banner in the very same post of the find. Just kinda makes it seem like all you want is your "time to shine" rather than being happy that you found something really amazing!

exactly. I wasn't asking for a banner, just commenting that a previous find that I thought was banner worthy didn't make it. Either way I am ecstatic with the find and am pretty sure I'll never find another one, but then again who knows. One of the guys from our MD club found one in a private yard last summer.

Like I said, great find. I wish I was that lucky to find a penny worth nearly a grand. lol
